There is NO nation !
Burnham tried with the Motto : One People One Nation One Destiny.
But coolie people think he meant "Duglah"
[/quote] Actually he meant one people .. his people , one nation of his people to the exclusion of all others.One destiny, destination being a uni ethnic state .
But, first and foremost, we’re a nation of human beings, with hearts beating and with dreams and with aspirations and with personal goals. And that’s what’s important: what kind of human society are we being?

But we don’t take this attitude to the public platforms. In our national conversations, we become intense and blame each other for every imaginary wrong under the sun.
As much as we’ve got lots of work to advance ourselves and our nation, as does any society anywhere in the world; we’ve come a long way. Our foreparents had to emerge from slavery and indentureship and colonialism and imperialism and the Cold War and a poor, undeveloped Guyana to bring us where we are today.
I agree with slavery and indentureship, but Imperialism and cold war??? This banna was smoking or he forgot the topic?
Our foreparents didn't sacrifice this much for us to be gutted by incompetence and corruption. Heck if they knew that their sacrifices would have amounted to this then they would have deferred!

Yet, when we listen to ourselves carry on our public conversations, we hear so much that’s wrong with us. Much of this negative way of being falls on our national media, now with untrained reporters and poor journalists. Today, filled with all types of media, the Guyanese society suffers a daily inundating of poorly written, badly designed and terribly thought-out content. Our newspapers fail us daily, and overseas Guyanese who read news of their homeland online see an image of Guyana riddled with vicious crime, and where everywhere is unsafe and bad.
I think Shaun needs a healthy dose of Guyanese reality. The Finance Minista, allegedly drunk, nearly kills man on the road...the man gets locked up for getting knocked down and the minister goes home without any consequence. No problem.
The AG is threatening people...he is on tape...and no problem. The Housing Minista selling house lots that should have been freely distributed...no problem...See Shaun right we don't have a problem...only the imagined types....

returned to India , like some did after the contract ended ! :-[
Yet, the people who publish such terrible stuff live well here, in big fancy houses and drive nice cars and travel overseas for vacation. But, stunted in vision and lacking the ability to inspire our nation and impact people with the real Guyanese story, they go about daily demoralising the Guyanese people.
