Lawd here I go again, this time with sarcasm, that is, thanking you for not being pleased with my style of writing. Anyway Caesar, I worked as an investigator and had to do a lot of report writing. So? Language useage was vital, and being an 'expert' in language, I would use riddles, puns, metaphors, soliloqy, similes and of course some sarcasm to illustrate and crystallize.. Just bear with me brother. Ulric is a better writer than me snd sometimes I cannot follow him ! How about dat? Thanks Caesar Agustus !

Make it simple.It would be most helpfull to all readers reading what you have to write. At times it appears that you are in a different ball park from where the game is being played.

I would have votd for PPP but never did. I left Guyana over 35 years ago and never got to vote in Guyana. Watching from outside. I fought for Guyana democracy. I went to Washington and met with many congressmen to gather support for free and fair election in Guyana. We have a government with a President and Prime Minister that has Guyana best interest at heart. Lets work with them to build Guyana and Make it a land that we are all proud of.

Of the illegal occupation of Guyana by the opposition.If the opposition did not then champion anything,but their own history,for 28 years,the span of their occupation and subsequent destructive reign,why would you suppose they would do so now?

HOGWASH!! You think the opposition has the authority to GIVE these people a raise??? Do you think that anyone will listen or approve their proposals in the big house?? Their union has always and is pro-PPP. They were just putting up a front!! It was always writing on the wall for these workers. They HAVE to take whatever the government dictates directly or indirectly, so cut out the hogwash. Yes Harry!!!! HOGWASH!! You think the opposition has the authority to GIVE these people a raise???

As thoughtful as your views are, they are filled with misrepresentations and kock-eyed perceptions not bourne out by empherical facts. Yes, the overwhelming number of PPP supporters are Indo-Guyanese, but when the PNC marched to demonstrate the effect VAT would have on the nation, are you telling Guyanese that that was not a cause that affected Indo-Guyanese( majority of the national population) ? If not, what are the cause/s of Indo-Guyanese and, are Indo-Guyanese not a segment of the Guyanese nation? On the other hand, are you suggesting that there should be an imballance in terms of representation of Indo-Guyanese (largest voting block supporting the PPP) by the PPP Government? Tell us bloggers; inquiring minds want to know. Participation in political activities in Guyana, although evidenced by racial voting patterns and support, continues to meet different need patterns by every opposition party. So, you are wrong Harry in your "thoughtful but castnet views" of representation of Indo-Guyanese issues by opposition parties.

Our political leadership, (particularly the PPP & PNC) have consistently neglected the masses, possibly with the assumption that they will vote for them anyway. How much longer must we continue to been abused by these "cheap politicians" who, instead of focusing on the things that unite us, prey on our fears and insecurities while doing nothing tangible to help? I long for the day when our electorate "wake-up" and realise that ultimately we dictate which direction this nation goes in.
