Dear Editor,
The Mahatma. A few weeks ago, a not so famous columnist, alleged that Mahatma Gandhi, the Apostle of non-violence was a homosexual. His revelation unleashed a tirade of condemnation from those who were acquainted with his (the Mahatma’s) vocation, and his struggles against the colonials on behalf of the people of India.
There is no evidence to prove that the Mahatma is, or was a homosexual. The embattled columnist, who is struggling to retain his place in the sun, has sunk to a new low. I wonder what the Christians would have done, had he made such an accusation against Jesus Christ.
Love of Alcohol. (a) Woman stabs man (both had consumed alcohol) who made unwanted sexual advances to her, and refused to desist, (b) fatal accident; investigations revealed that the driver was drunk at the time of the accident, (d) man comes home drunk, food not ready; beats wife, (e) man stabs stepdaughter; wife states he imbibed a quantity of alcohol, before committing the act. What a wonderful beverage Alcohol is; I recommend it to all; especially at communion.
OT Award. The decision by the Government of South Africa to confer (posthumously) the Oliver Tambo Award on Mr. Forbes Burnham, has elicited some responses that are quite brilliant. It is good to note that the circumstances surrounding Dr. Walter Rodney’s death have not been interred with him. The WPA Handbook; the classification of the WPA as an Enemy of the State; the infiltration of the WPA by members of the Security Forces, are all indicators that Dr. Walter Rodney was marked for death. His demise and the mode of it, was therefore predictable.
Death Gratuity. A regular rank of the Guyana Police Force, who is killed in the line of duty, is entitled to a Death Gratuity, provided he has served a minimum of two years; whilst a member of the Special Constabulary, who is killed in circumstances similar to the regular rank, must have seven years service in order to qualify. How shameful; it seems that the lives of some humans, are more important than others. Shades of Animal Farm.
