Daggering Ban

Recently, in Jamaica, songs celebrating "daggerin" have been banned from the air. Apparently, this dance which simulates sex acts has also been stimulating the masses and causing widespread pandemonium. Another victory against freedom of speech!

Renegade from duo RDX had this to say:

"Mi nuh have nothing else fi seh. Wi (RDX) just ago move forward and continue creating music. Wi nah go mek dem stop wi freedom of speech and expression."

Right on.

As long as the remnants of a colonial political infrastructure maintain the huge economic disparities between the rich and poor, I say let the children dagger! The children could be doing worse, and sadly in Jamaica or any other third world former colony, they often are doing worse.
