I am in my hotel room in St. Martin watching this beautiful advertisement by the Colombian Tourism Agency about having this awesome and breath taking experience in visiting Columbia, immediately after that advertisement followed another about Viagra. The advertisement encourages you to perform like you never did and experience ‘heaven on earth’.

However, the advertisement continues to warn ‘ask your doctor if ‘cialis’ (Viagra) is right for you, for the side effects could be running nose, etching ears, ………., and heart attack (death).

I have an interesting list of names in my computer of all the people Viagra has so far killed in Guyana. One was a prominent religious leader on the West Bank of Demerara, another of a prominent businessman in Georgetown, another prominent army officer and so it goes.

When other prominent persons are killed by this thing we should be honestly informed because promiscuity is rampant by some to the shame of this nation and sets a terrible example to our young people.

Some have left their wives and disregarded the sanity of their children for the so called ‘greener and younger pastures’ to their own destruction and shame.

At the age of 39 I am still enjoying my wife who has given me four beautiful children, when the day comes and I cannot function anymore then I would have to respect nature and reality. I love what Clint Eastwood has said in one of his movies “a man got to know his limits.’
