Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, From the outset let it be known that my perception of sexual orientation has been influenced first by religious values and later by universal values.

Dear Editor, The decision of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) General Council to refuse to accept the challenge thrown out by the Federation’s President, Christopher Matthias for a live televised debate on national television is a commendable gesture, when it’s considered that apart from giving a 48-hour ultimatum for a response from disgruntled members, Matthias had the temerity to advocate that the cost for the televised debate would be met from the coffers of the GFF.

Dear Editor, I was very impressed with the in-depth analysis that was presented by the GCB on the Cricket Administration Bill which the Government of Guyana (GOG) is trying to force down the throat of those administrators.

Dear Editor, We are presently making preparations to honour fathers all over the world on Sunday, June 15.

Dear Editor, It was with great consternation that I have read in the Stabroek News (June 9, 2014), a statement attributed to Pastor Ronald McGarrell to the effect that, “homosexuals and other persons with alternative sexual orientation should reside on an island by themselves.”

Dear Editor,   The current Commission of Inquiry into the death of WPA’s Walter Rodney, 34 years ago, has aroused passionate responses from the range of its ‘witnesses’ as well as other observers.

Dear Editor, The WICB, in retaliation against the Cricket Administration Bill, pulled the third Test match from Guyana.

Dear Editor, The call by Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer for a joint referendum of the OECS states to seek the green light from electorates to join the appellate jurisdiction of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has raised eyebrows.

Dear Editor,   I read, with bemused interest and not a small amount of disdain, the article ‘Culture Ministry hands over Guyana Classics to libraries’ (SN, June 6).

Dear Editor,   I was delighted when I met David Granger for the first time in Richmond Hill Queens, New York.

Dear Editor, It is amazing the way people use your rights without your permission in this country, and you can’t stop them even if you call the police or you go to court.

Dear Editor, In light of the Rodney Commission of Inquiry (COI) and recent talks in the blogs and letter columns of the need for the PNC to apologise, please allow us – two relatively young people – to share our experiences growing up under the PNC of Mr Desmond Hoyte.

Dear Editor,   Mike Persaud has gotten a lot of heat from some Guyanese for hosting Mr David Granger in Richmond Hill, NY.  

Dear Editor, I am writing about the land-filled road at the Eccles dumpsite.

Dear Editor, I am glad you are advertising for a proofreader.

Dear Editor, I have been following the general coverage, including that of your newspaper, relating to the cricket impasse and the ultimate removal of the third Test match scheduled for Guyana later this month between the West Indies Cricket Team and New Zealand.

Dear Editor, Every passing day, I read the news of our leaders’ failure to compromise for the good of our nation; I read column upon column of bitterness and divisiveness; I read discourses that involve ‘cuss outs’ which are not based on reasoned logical debates; and I read of the opinions of our older leaders who operate as if only they have all the solutions for Guyana.

Dear Editor, “Not every reader is a leader, but every leader must be a reader” -Harry Truman.

Dear Editor, I refer to an article in KN dated June 1 on drainage pumps and I would like to enquire from the Ministry of Agriculture whatever happened to the 40 odd pumps with discharge pipes outlets purchased in 1974 by the Hydraulics Division?
