The Stone Age is beckoning
Dear Editor,
We, the residents of Berbice, have patiently suffered through a never-ending series of blackouts.
It’s about time, therefore, that the government immediately commences a new OLPF programme – One Lamp Per Family.
Government should dismantle the new street lights installed on the Corentyne Highway, and use the funds to buy lamps for every family without a power generator. It should recall all the free laptops distributed, and replace them with notepads, pencils, and slate and chalk. Doesn’t it know that these so-called developments are mere white elephants without a reliable electricity supply? Give us something we can actually use.
Let us dust off our fire-sides, and get ready to live without internet, cell-phones, and televisions. The Stone Age is beckoning, and we, the people of Berbice, must humbly sacrifice our dreams and our future to pay for our leaders to enjoy the finest and richest luxuries of life, including, but not limited to fancy mansions, the latest model of cars, exquisite meals, long, overseas vacations, and, of course, unlimited access to every form of debauchery. After all, all men are created equal, but some men are created more equal than others. How could we ever forget that?
