-Retail Politics versus Mobile Rallies
Whenever I’m about to scold myself for embracing European-inspired traditions, I quickly remind myself of my strongly-held historical fact and belief: that Europeans, Asians, all Humanity, were originally African (Black and /or Brown.) From the African cradle of civilization other so-called “races”, ethnicities evolved!
So that personal realization and acceptance of mine allow (s) me the rationale (?) the reason (?), the excuse (?) to recognise the Spirit of Valentine’s Day. Frankly speaking, Guyana and the world badly needs the love which the (European) Saint Valentine promotes. Amidst Global, regional conflicts, crime, disease and yes, Elections Campaigns.
Research – Google, Wikipedia – will provide you-all with the origins of Valentine’s Day. But I’m wondering: won’t our politicians and campaigners – those who now vigorously campaign to retain or regain authority over us – take a few hours off to share peace, comfort, affection, love amongst their comrades, their workmates, their cherished ones, their opponents today?
