should be remembered: “don’t worry, be happy.” These fellows are definitely unhappy, and to be on the outside looking in does not sit well: it is the pits. There is no cash flow there. Nonetheless, I confess to an appreciation for the third arm of the triumvirate, the former prime minister, and his recent public call for AfroGuyanese to take the plunge and bond with his people. Of course, it makes perfect sense to saddle Uncle Sam with this delicate mission, while armed with only a basket that has no bottom to lure unsuspecting and disgruntled fish. The former (unsuspecting) is non-existent, while the latter variety (disgruntled) multiplies. I like this version of social cohesion, PPP style.

Still, I would have thought that the erstwhile former PM is graced with the hindsight that comes from those immortal and relevant words of Professor Cornel West, who I now paraphrase. There are middle dogs, even a few top dogs, but at the end of the day, they discovered the hard way that they are all underdogs and unwanted ones too. I remind the amnesiacs that Professor West was from Harvard, and not Patrice Lumumba. He was addressing the plight of Jews in America; I venture that his thinking applied to Guyanese ethnics on the losing side of electoral counts and governance swaps.

Editor, I would be guilty of acute untruth if I say that I welcome the contributions of these three Guyanese media spinners. The nation would be better served if they were to remain in private solitude, along with the profound silence, and the penance that are part of the Siberia in which they languish.
