Dear Editor,
“Oneness”? What happened to notions like unity, harmony, nationalism, co-existence? Are we trying to get rid of our rich cultural and ethnic diversity? Are we going along with the American way of assimilation? I wish there were an elaboration of the content of “oneness” and how the latter is to be achieved.
“One Guyana Commission”? Really? Apparently, the consequence of the Taiwan fiasco was greater than we thought. Are we trying to appease the “injured” party by proclaiming One this and One that? The last I heard, no one is trying to secede a section of our territory from Guyana, nor is anyone trying hard enough to invoke federalism, nor is there a separatist movement in Guyana. Why then this Commission? Are we making amends for our infractions on the “One China” policy”?
Note is taken of Venezuela’s claim to two-thirds of Guyana, but that is a different matter. Unity and patriotic nationalism are terms that are much more appropriate.
As we approach our Republic Day, I suggest we celebrate our rich diversity in a unified and harmonious manner. I hope H.E. will come up with some better ideas to leave as his legacy.
Yours truly,
A. Adler
