Democracy in Guyana really sustains the Kissoon public discourse

Oct 13, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor:
I refer to Freddie Kissoon’s column in the Kaieteur News of October 12, 2009.
His distortions continue to run amok. He uses his usual mischievous illusions to label people who happen to share the government’s thinking and practices.
He invariably presents people not sharing his thinking as wrong, even if those people’s presentations have empirical validity and reliability; and not based on some chimera, as his writings usually portray.
And he roguishly characterises me as part of some Indian outfit.
He takes privileges and honour at manipulating allusions on people’s ethnicity; this kind of writing surely requires some dosage of an editor’s discretion.
He needs to be careful in his columns, especially pertaining to speciously locating people within ethnic groups; as groups are not just about ethnicity.
And he should not associate me with any of his silly illusions, as an attempt to sustain his distortions.
The Editors should peruse his writings for flaws and innuendoes, and correct them, before they gravitate to the printed pages.
And I hope he acknowledges the enormous freedom of expression that he enjoys; and which freedom enables him to preach his incongruous sermons on a daily basis.
With a dictatorship, there would be no Kissoon column. And democracy in Guyana really sustains his public discourse.
Prem Misir
