JUBILEE FATHER’S DAY – by Francis Quamina Farrier

Next Sunday, June 19, 2016, will be Father’s Day – this year, we in Guyana can call it, “JUBILEE FATHER’S DAY.”

For although we in Guyana will be observing this Special Day in the year with the rest of the World, it comes this time around, during this year of our Jubilee of Independence.

In more recent years, Father’s Day, for the better part here in Guyana, was not generally all about the good fathers in our society; rather it became the sad day when many otherwise good, intelligent and well-educated people, became temporarily insane.

Individuals such as Senior Social Workers, Religious Leaders, Politicians and Law Enforcers, would go on a fierce male-bashing tirade.

From the way the public speaks, the possession of deadly weapons is a prerogative many Americans treasure.

Under the 1791 provision of the Bill of Rights (the Second Amendment) each man (woman, and it appears some teenagers, too) has the right to keep and bear arms; and the right-wing ‘gun lobby’ is such an influential force in American politics that there will be no significant change to the law, nor will the killing frenzy cease in my lifetime.

Why Global Capital Fears ‘Brexit’

Why Global Capital Fears ‘Brexit’

We are not trying to tell UK readers how (or even whether) to vote; we are asking you to help us shed light on and bring sanity to this volatile situation.

Helena Norberg-Hodge, Rupert Read, Thomas Wallgren – Common Dreams – Wednesday, June 15, 2016

Trade treaties were a hot button issue during the recent US presidential primary campaigns. This represents an important victory for the people – for the grassroots – whose voice is finally being heard. While it’s hard to know what really lies behind Donald Trump’s opposition to the trade agreements, it’s very significant that Bernie Sanders put Hillary Clinton on the defensive about NAFTA and led her to take a stand against the TransPacific Partnership (TPP).
