Guyana adds new words to children’s vocabulary
Dear Editor,
I refer to Mr. Ryan Waldron’s letter, in Kaieteur News on 27/10/2009.
Would nostalgia have gripped Ryan Waldron in the Burnham era to return to his beloved Guyana with his family and a five-year-old child leaving the comfort of the Kalahari Desert?
Had this been the case, his daughter would have learned another new big word called “Blackmarket”, because he would have had to take suitcases full of foodstuff to eat, the way we had to when we visited Guyana in those years, in most cases, at times of family distress only.
Before Mr. Waldron left for Guyana, I am sure he must have done his homework and saw the improvements in Guyana before taking his family there with a five-year-old brain child who knows such a big word as “Blackout”.
Having left Georgetown to live in the Kalahari Desert and the way he criticise Guyana because of who governs it, I am surprised that Mr. Waldron had not chosen to go and live in Zimbabwe instead, because that environment would have suited his mentality of how a country should be governed.
