Profiling and Practicality

    The preferred Mode of Transportation in Jamaica Most Jamaicans suffer from sense of entitlement and an overabundance of self-importance! In Jamaica the concept of Profiling and living a Practical life represents opposite ends of the spectrum as profiling wins every time. Yes I know,  it is a rubbish way of living one's life but most Jamaicans define themselves, by how much they can profile. It is the only way they know how to stand apart, show that they have arrived and to prove to the world that we can live like anyone in the developed first.
