I am extremely proud of Tarron and always had the utmost respect for him when I got to know him at UG - unlike me, he did not have silver spoon in his mouth (educationwise) and has made so much of himself. I was luckier by going to St. Margarets and QC enjoying the best of teachers while standards were still high, but I did not manage to get as far academically. Pantha, I empathise with you nothwithstanding your cheap shot. It took me thirteen years after the PPP took office to part ways with them (I was actually with them from age 4 to 34 - from Pioneers to PYO to PPP), and I understand the conflicts involved. Living here in Guyana certainly made it easier when you experience the day to day wrongs, and after a while you just have to acknowledge the truth regardless of what else you are afraid of. Hopefully one day you will be cured of your myopia - in the meantime I am forced to point out it is you who is similar to Daly - using a pseudonym and offering a shallow response. I say thank you also to the rest of you that offered supporting comments. Tarron, it is I that must thank you – you have given me a renewed sense of hope.

But I think Gerhard hinted at the clue. These guys are signaling to the rum shops. Once they can keep the run shops entertained they are in business. But our task is to demonstrate how official policy of the PPP is intended to keeping the masses in penury and at the level of the rum shop. I am reading the LCDS and its fascinating how proudly the Jagdeo Administration proclaims the benefits of subsistence production...now as economist I cant believe they will push that crap in the year 2009...this has to be exposed.

Have you ever looked closely at the smallest man in a group of hunks? He will puff his chest and swagger to look like one of the group. Same here, Ms Daly is very lacking in 'back-up' points or a rebuttal so she does the next thing she knows when her back is against the wall... attack the personality or whatever else of the person who cornered her and forget about the topic of the discourse!!

It seems she took it to heart and sought refuge, academically , in the confines of Kaieteur News. Pantha !

And to be honest, I cannot recall ever reading letters from Ms. Daly in Stabroek News, and there must be a reason: she is not whom she calls herself by name. Some critics of her writing have actually identified her as a male cabinet minister and leading PPP executive whose forte is information/writing. That said, I think the responses 'she' has evoked from Tarron are educational and informative enough for 'her' to learn something; and not just her, but her colleagues, too!
