Isn’t GPL being callous for taking its declared stance?

Nov 21, 2008 Letters

Dear Editor,
It was with great shock that I read in the papers GPL’s “campaign” to catch the “pirates” who have found a new way to “steal” current.
These “thieves” and “pirates” happen to be those who have put security lights up on the streets.
Here we have fearful and insecure people trying to make a bit of peace of mind around their homes being branded thieves and pirates.
One would think that GPL is being callous taking such a stance so soon after Lusignan and Bartica. Incidentally, GPL, these same lights are up in Lusignan. Are they going to be removed, too?
Are the folks living there going to be made to pay $3,400 monthly for each light?  Are they thieves and pirates too? Also, if GPL has already worked out that these lights cost them $3,400 monthly, why would they want to have consumers put a meter on them if the consumers want these lights on the posts?
Wouldn’t such a thing be a waste of money? It’s not enough that we have to suffer daily blackouts, but now we are not allowed to have safe streets anymore.
But then I contradict myself, the lights don’t work anyways, with all the blackouts.
