Dear Editor,
I almost always shy away from any sort of written praise for a particular erudite but contemptuous type of contributor to your publication, for the simple reason that in my judgement they are often too full of themselves with their noses in the air, so that any form of endorsement coming from anyone they consider not in their category to be insulting.

Dear Editor,
The AFC’s change of position to one of support for debating the Amaila Falls Hydroelectric project is puzzling, as other available options would seem to have been more advantageous to the Guyanese majority.

Dear Editor,
At its recently concluded congress, the PPP made much about the need to rebuild its decaying structures and shore up its neglected arms.
Dear Editor,
Mr Brassington is reported to have said that after one year of the Amaila Falls Hydroelectric Project coming on stream, the demand for electricity will be greater than the supply and Guyana will have to seek additional electricity supplies from another project.
Dear Editor,
In 1992 when the PPP came into office, compliments of the Hoyte/Jimmy Carter formula, they proclaimed loudly locally and abroad that Guyana had experienced a ‘return to democracy.’

Dear Editor,

As Guyana once again is confronted by the domestic violence murders and attempted murders of five women and three children, including the near severing of limbs of children, one has to ask whether we as a nation really care about reducing and eliminating domestic violence and whether our political directorate and government leaders care or have the will, capacity and expertise to comprehensively address the issue.
Dear Editor,
