On protests and perceptions

Organising “spontaneous” outrage 

This short commentary was inspired by the street protests “mobilized” by the People’s National Congress (PNC) over two days of the last weekend.
(Incidentally, you know that since, say, 1997, the selfish little portion of my nature always tends to feel good and comfortable over the fact that my family all live outside of Guyana’s borders? Especially when I see certain types of demonstrations and protests? But that feel-good emotion is frequently attended by the pain of separation, as I will always lament what migration has done to this once peaceful, innocent land. The beautiful, blighted country that I myself will never leave for good.)
