Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I sometimes wonder if anyone cares about people who are less fortunate than us.

Dear Editor, The use of the Caribbean Press imprint for the publication of the book of Minister Frank Anthony’s daughter – a paid publication – raises many issues and Mr Ruel Johnson is quite correct to bring this matter to the public’s notice.

Dear Editor, I am amazed at the disrespect, and uncaring attitude of GPL towards the residents of Berbice, especially the Upper Corentyne.

Dear Editor,        I recently travelled with one of the two new ferries that currently ply the waters of the Parika to Good Hope route.

Dear Editor, Writing in the SN of January15 under the title ‘Ramkarran did not acknowledge African feelings of disenfranchisement’ Dr David Hinds suggests:  “I make bold to say that just as the PPP’s behaviour in office  has been heavily influenced by the perception and reality of  its treatment at the hands of the PNC in office, that the PNC’s behaviour in office was also largely grounded  in similar fears, perceived and real, arising from the PPP’s 1957-64 tenure.

Dear Editor, For the second consecutive month, teachers in Berbice will be paid late.

Dear Editor, Reference is made to your letter dated January 7, 2013, seeking a comment in relation to a letter to the editor published in Stabroek News on January 3 and captioned ‘Newly appointed teachers not paid after five months.’ 

Dear Editor, I am certain that many Guyanese are familiar with the saying: ‘Train up a child in the way he should grow, so that when he grows old, he shall not depart from it.’ 

Dear Editor, It is always a pity when a good Guyanese dies.

Dear Editor, The jury will still be out when it comes to deciding whether capital punishment should be taken off our statute books.

Dear Editor, In life it is always in our interest to have a game plan for the purpose of giving structure to our thoughts. 

Dear Editor, Like David Dabydeen, I have my own writing to do and this issue of the Caribbean Press is proving tedious, particularly in the willingness of certain players to either remain silent in what is a clear cut issue, or to bend over backward to accommodate the most absurdly facile rationalisations. 

Dear Editor, I am unsure of precisely where to begin in addressing Dr David Dabydeen’s letter, but I shall try my level best (‘Minister Anthony paid the printing and shipping costs of his daughter’s book’ SN, January 15).

Dear Editor, The recurring incidences of overtopping along the sea and river defences, the recent reports of scarcity of irrigation water, and the historical approach of discharging excess fresh water into our rivers and the Atlantic Ocean prompted me to write this letter.

Dear Editor, Within recent times there have been encouraging signs, albeit fleeting, that the government is changing their ways in dealing with the governing of our country.

Dear Editor, I admit that I am an enthusiast when it comes to American football.

Dear Editor, As you travel around Guyana and share views with persons of every walk of life, social class, religious persuasion, ethnic affinity and age, you hear expressed concerns about the opposition, and more specifically, the APNU leadership, that they are not doing enough.

Dear Editor, A letter by W P George in the SN under the caption, ‘GPL should not be placing more burden on the hard-pressed consumers’ instantly brought back thoughts of the Linden electricity increase protest and made me wonder aloud: what if we (Linden/Region 10) were tied in to the insidious and oppressive national grid (GPL)?

Dear Editor, The straw men have been dragged out for flogging and every girl in town is projecting her own anxieties and opinions or fantasies onto the exchange we have had about dress and rape.

 Dear Editor, Firstly I wish to extend my gratitude to you, for publishing my letter in your Wednesday, January 9 edition (‘There is no excuse for the violence committed against our women’).
