Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, While we learn from our own and other people’s experience, mankind is gifted by nature with an instinctive sense of self-preservation.

Dear Editor,  As we are in the count-down stages to the Summer Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing, China, an educational campaign would be a good move by all the newspapers to enlighten the public about the history of the games and the level to which they have now moved.

Dear Editor, I refer to a letter by Joel Simpson et al (SN, 17.5.08) advocating “anti-homophobia” training and would appreciate the opportunity to rebut.

Dear Editor, The letter from Swami Aksharanandaji on April 18 2008, ‘Freedom of thought and religion must not be taken for granted,’ brought out an excellent analysis of the many ways in which the Hindu religion was and is still being compromised, not only in Guyana, but wherever Hindus are present globally.

Dear Editor, A landmark case in the High Court of Guyana is about to unfold in the wake of a lawsuit filed on behalf of the Akawaio and Arekuna peoples of the Upper Mazaruni district.

Dear Editor, With reference to the Daily Chronicle editorial of Wednesday, May 14, 2008 headlined ‘We must work towards preserving our Garden City,’ I believe every good Guyanese at home and abroad, every patriot and most importantly, those who live and dwell in Georgetown need to support these sentiments.

Dear Editor, We have seen that a certain religious organization held a separate celebration for Arrival Day at the national stadium this year, and that its leader was reported on page 29 of Kaieteur News (27.4.08) as saying that they have been celebrating the arrival of Indians for more than three decades and they will not allow this occasion to slip into the hands of those who would exploit it for their own ends.

Dear Editor, I have refrained from commenting on the views for and against the credibility of Mr Vishnu Bisram over the past two weeks because I believe if not all of them, then 99 per cent are penned by fictitious writers.

Dear Editor, I wish to finally vent my growing disgust at the government for their backward, outdated and obsolete approach to Guyana’s energy supply.
