I think tourism is a horrible, degrading industry, so I wouldn't open a new resort, but really, what does that leave? It seems the entire Caribbean would benefit from some sort of "real" industry, but it would absolutely have to be clean, clean, sparkling clean.James P.

Believe me, I can take my life for granted at times, but I often think of people around the world and at home who struggle for the absolute bare necessities. <br /><br />At least in America we have choices and opportunities to move up in life. If there is anything good about this recession, it's that people may learn to be less materialistic and more understanding of the hardship others endure.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13080179243430144721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352119555367234410.post-16536275479159304072009-08-16T10:26:23.603-04:002009-08-16T10:26:23.603-04:00I know many web writers who don't make much mo...I know many web writers who don't make much more than that too! :-)Eurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537826237455083772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352119555367234410.post-4297273268389386372009-08-15T23:12:47.834-04:002009-08-15T23:12:47.834-04:00I suppose it helps some to have American dollars w...I suppose it helps some to have American dollars while you're living there. I can definitely see why crime is increasing though... it's a shame it has to be that way.<br /><br />It does help put it in perspective though when you consider people are earning less in an entire day than most of us in America earn in 1/4 hour's time.<br /><br />Very eye opening.Michelle L.
