Dear Editor,
I have just read Freddie Kissoon’s article, “I never lusted for la dolce vita”.
Please allow my brief reaction. First, every rational person, even if not sharing all of his views, could not help but respecting and admiring his courage, his erudition and his deep patriotism. Second when he takes a swipe at any of us , it is his right if not duty; in a viable free society we must hear all sides of a story, even with its boundaries that is the essence of democracy.
I quite like Freddie and say more power to him. Let us be reminded of this “The pen is mightier than the sword. Let me add this caveat, for his service to Guyana he and his family deserve to live in a purported “mansion”. But what of those castles that house here and abroad, the villains who have pillaged our coffers. At a public function some time ago I referred to Freddie as our modern Shakespeare.
K N and F K keep it up you give substance to our generation
