Dr Luncheon – And my Grandchild Believe me, I had decided to explore, yet again, this issue, before I fell upon the editorial in this Tuesday’s Stabroek News.

Alright, of course, the lead caption with “Ramotar” and “Granger” is a journalistic attention-grabber. 

careers and companies thru’ cocaine Look Friends, I appreciate that the captioned lead today is, perhaps not an issue for a Friday columnist.

I’m pretty sure that I used my lead caption in this newspaper a few years ago.

For some, their minds, psyches and vocabulary heavily influenced by foreign lifestyles and development, the Guyana “summer” is at an end.

-Good Police, Bad Police If we consider this pre–season of the Elections Campaign we may want to evaluate, even recommend, certain actions and activities related to that campaign.

If you’re objective, open–minded or, especially, a–political, you’ll be hard put to find fault with the general objectives of many of the government’s programmes, policies and promotional events.

Eze Patrick Rockcliffe – founder – leader of the durable Yoruba Singers is proud of his band’s fortieth birthday this year.

Again the brightest of observations and notes on the subject of Guyanese migration and its consequent diaspora – or dispersal, which now sees very much more “born-Guyanese” living permanently away from their homeland.

My brevity today indicates that this offering is one of my “time-out productions.”

Guess what? I’m pretty sure that in last Friday’s offering on issues related to same-sex/gender matters, Guyana-wise, I had promised to take a long time out from such topics.

I’ll probably leave this lead subject alone after this treatment.  I’ve explored, cursorily, male and female homosexuality in two previous pieces over the years.

Occasional association with GAWU President Komal Chand was good enough to arouse my interest – and curiosity – a few years ago.

Since I’ve decided not to vote for anybody to lead me, I certainly have to abide with other people’s choice.

What happens if you ask coastlanders – especially our under-20s – what and where is “Region Eight” in Guyana? 

This offering, which threatens to be my most brief in months, attempts to provoke thought about two central issues in the news as they relate to the “character” of government and governance here these days.

Today’s lead topic is re-cycled from 17 years ago. Why? Because I am utilizing my rarely-used right to be professionally lazy; and also because migration to the USA has been a powerful blight in our national lives for some three decades now.

I have to meekly concede. My consistent indiscipline makes me again, intervene, intrude into what Dr David Hinds describes as “essentially black people’s business”.

After proudly chalking up eighteen (18) years of this column, non-stop, last Friday, I’m taking one of those “time-outs” to be most brief today.

This is, or should be, serious business.  I mean choosing a candidate; then ultimately, voting for a party’s ‘Head of List’ who may end up as Guyana’s president.
