Guyana has approximately 98% mad people

Oct 15, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
I am a regular reader of Freddie Kissoon’s articles on Kaieteur News. Most articles I agree with him and he seems to have a very good point. He is always fair and the only person in Guyana who calls a spade a spade. That should be written on a medal and placed on his chest. After reading Freddie’s articles for so many years and realizing how much madness goes on in Guyana, I would like to explain something to Freddie Kissoon and the rest of Guyanese. The faster you understand and agree with what I’m about to explain to you, the easier your life in Guyana will be.
Guyana has approximately 98% mad people and 2% normal healthy thinking people. Sounds crazy right? That’s probably because you are in the 98%, sorry don’t feel offended, but enlightened. If you don’t believe me I will prove it to you. Here are some quick fun facts I’ve noticed about Guyana. There are many cases where small problems are made into a very big issue and similarly many big cases have been resolved with very little effort.
Here is an example and Freddie writes about this many times. We have people who have been caught with very small amounts of marijuana; they are given long jail terms. On the other side of this scenario some people who are caught with marijuana or cocaine in tons are not jailed. So if you want to traffic cocaine or marijuana do it on a large scale, start big, think big or you will be jailed.
Here is another example. When somebody is charged for murder, they are sent to jail. A Certain notorious killer was charged for murder of many persons (not just 1 person, but many). So what happens next? He is sent to remand. He will never go to jail. He might eventually be sent free after serving so many years on remand. So believe it or not if you kill 1 person you will be sent to jail. If you kill many, you will be set free.
Here is another example. When people steal a few thousand dollars, they are charged and eventually sent to jail. On the other hand, when people steal in billions they are set free. For example past and present governments, so if you are considering stealing do not steal anything less than a billion. When a road in Guyana has a hole, the size of a $5 coin, we do not fix it. Of course not! That would be stupid, right? So what do we do? We wait till it turns big enough for a fishing pond. At this stage it will cost about 5 million to fix. Then it is perfect time to fix it.
So if these things don’t convince you that we are living in a completely mad society where it consists of presidents, ministers, government workers both past and present who are mad. Then it would only be fair to say you also are mad.
