Dear Editor, On Christmas Day I was travelling along the junction turn-off from DSL into the four-way lane on the East Bank to visit a friend when I noticed a dead horse by the grass.

Dear Editor, PPP General Secretary Donald Ramotar’s comment in response to the shenanigans of one of its own, that the PPP is not a party that would kill people for the first mistake they make, is facetious, sanctimonious, and utterly mind-boggling.

Dear Editor, I would like to compliment President Bharrat Jagdeo and his legislators for the recent legislation passed in parliament allowing the free movement of Caricom nationals to our shores without being hassled.

Dear Editor, A letter under the name ‘Samuel A. Hinds/A Civic and a Citizen’ captioned, ‘Last Friday night in the parliament gave hope for a better future’ (SN, 23.12.07) raises a number of issues.

Dear Editor, Reference is made to PPP General Secretary Donald Ramotar’s statement that “We [the PPP] are not a party that would just kill people for the first mistake that they make,” (SN, 25.12.07) in response to Minister Kellawan Lall’s gun-touting behaviour.

Dear Editor, ‘I am a dog, help me don’t hurt me.’

Dear Editor, Caricom Secretary General, Dr Edwin Carrington said a call was made for new policies and incentives to be a central part of the negotiations with respect to the development of mechanisms to Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD).
