So I just found out that there was going to be a Caribbean Federation of Islands in 1960, but the guy running for Prime Minister in Jamaica convinced the population that it was a bad idea. This guy was elected as the new Prime Minister shortly thereafter and then guided Jamaica to independence. A Federation of Caribbean islands would have been AWESOME! It would have cut down on travel costs, would have formed a universal currency, and made the Caribbean a more politically stable place, but NOOOOOOOOO. This jerk had to shake everything up, and not in a good way.
I would have moved to the West Indies Federation if it had formed. Boo!!!!!!!!!!
Cold and not sunny,
