Only bout hey (hair)How is that we in Barbados are up in arms over the wearing of a hairstyle i.e the young senator and the guys at SJPP? All yesterday on the call in programme people were in agreement that these young men should adhere to the rules and that this kind of behaviour is what leads to the social and moral decline in this country. I found this more than amusing, because if that is so how is that we had a PM who introduced us to not one but two children whom based on calculations were not from his wife, he further married his mistress and it was a grand televised affair. We had a Deputy PM who was accused of being a political vampire, we had politicians from both parties for years involved in corruption i.e kickbacks, millions in offshore bank accounts and the list goes on and on. Yet not one person called in, wrote or said that any of this leads to the social and moral decay of this country. We sit among ourselves discuss this, see the alleged details in articles such as pudding and souse, may hear about it in our calypsos but not one person is ever held accountable for their behaviour. You know what message this sends to the young people….. cut your hair and adhere to the accepted norms of this society and get your education, then run for political office and do whatever you like because it is at this level that no body cares, steal, fornicate, cuss, beat up people who cares we are a christian society.On the other hand if you go to the most corrupt land (or so we bajans say) the US wear your hair however, you like get your education but remember if you ever run for public office the slightest offense will be investigated and you will have to bear the consequences.We bajans are a bunch of hypocrites. I am so tired of the older generation crying down the young people. There are so many cases of one man fathering numerous children in the same neighbourhood etc if AIDS was around back then we would not be here because our grandparents would be dead.I hope that these adults go to sleep at night with a clear conscious when they realise that they do nothing to hold certain people accountable for their behaviour but yet want to stop persons from getting an education or performing a function because of a hairstyle.
