Dear Editor, The incongruity of man, his arrogance and total disrespect for the law are aptly demonstrated every morning by a small band of cattle minders who take their herds to graze in a highly residential area where home-owners have spent huge sums to improve and preserve the aesthetics of their properties but where animals are allowed to freely roam and destroy, not only beautiful and healthy plants and manicured parapets and lawns, but the spirit of humanity and human dignity.

Dear Editor, The caption to the letter which appeared in your edition of November18 should have read as follows: ‘The former Bureau of Statistics building now being torn down was once the        terminal at Mackenzie airport.”

Dear Editor, Today I had a conversation that I cannot help but link to two telephone calls I made yesterday.

Dear Editor, The statement of Dr Madan Rambarran, Director of Medical Services, in relation to Vishwamintra Persaud reported in SN of November 13 must have every concerned parent, child and citizen in Guyana outraged, fearful and dismayed.

Dear Editor, Thank you for allowing us to respond to the letter ‘Promotion does not appear to be up and running’ published in your letter column of Wednesday, November 10, 2010, where Ayana Cort expresses her concerns about her ability to participate in the current GT&T ‘Textmas’ promotion.

Dear Editor, It is put to us by Hydar Ally, in a letter on the release of  Aung San Suu Kyi, that the Burmese situation “ is not dissimilar to what obtained under the period of PNC dictatorial rule” (‘The release of Aung San Suu Kyi’ SN, Novermber 16).

Dear Editor, Kindly allow me to ventilate a few issues which seem to have escaped the attention of the authorities.
