We need to be obsessed with respecting rules

Aug 31, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,

The headline reads, “Corbin supporters seem obsessed with the need to respect Party rules.” This headline is that of a letter written by Harry Gill in Kaieteur News of 30th August 2010.

My aging heart would have leap to read of another citizen seeing the need to be obsessed with respecting rules. That was the standard bearer of the good old days and the behaviour of upstanding citizens.

All over the country you see the open disrespect for the rules which is responsible for the turmoil and under-development. It would be heartening to see a return to an obsession where citizens see the need to respect the rules in the government, judiciary, parliament, police force, army, private sector, Guyana Cricket Board, schools, Ethnic Relations Commission, stores, in the Good Book, on the streets and everywhere.

This is the means to order and development in other countries. Why must it now be different for Guyana?

They say the longer you live the more you learn; I just never bargained it would be more ‘where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise’ and ‘might is right.’
