Not everyone who experiences a disadvantage is marginalised

Dear Editor,

I want to refer to Eric Phillips’s letter of April 12, 2008 in Kaieteur News and Walter Samuels of April 15, 2008, in Stabroek News.

When the Guyanese people have fought so hard to institutionalize freedom of speech and freedom of expression, here comes Eric Phillips telling some of us to keep quiet; and I suspect he wants to become a political leader. Indeed, given his excessive ambitions to become such a political leader and his consistent disdain for freedom of speech, the Guyanese people must see him as suspect.
