-do you care to vote in November?
I suppose that every year I indulge – in muted exasperation – and acceptance? – in the lamentation expressed in my lead caption(s).
But even in my solid surrender and conclusion, I hope to be proven quite wrong! Seriously friends, I really don’t wish my predictions to come true. To be sustained to our collective detriment. And who knows, by say 2025, all my negative prognostications will be washed away. And this generation of citizens will experience a renaissance of high desirable standards – that quality of the “good life” which Honourable Finance Minister Jordan has long promised.
However, based on realities of the past thirty years and rooted in my understanding of the “new” Guyanese human nature; the youthful defiance of cultured behaviour and rules; along with the politicisation of even the few good governmental policies and programmes, as of right now, I despair. I declare most pessimistically, that we who are post – 70/80 – and don’t /can’t live for another fifteen years – will never joyfully experience an improved quality of life as manifested in some simple things which are routine, normal elsewhere. Check my fears below!
