IN reference to the youngster who was charged, for showing his middle finger to the President or his escort driver, I was amazed at the behaviour, nay the ‘ANTICS’ of certain elements in the Guyanese society in response to the charge.
Firstly, anyone with a modicum of sense would know that the Head of State would have seen to it the charges are dropped sooner or later.  Any Head of State of any party would. But these elements, with political linkages, seem to think their behaviour would draw the ire of  voters. In my opinion, it instead would cause sane citizens to frown on them; the protesters/haymakers.  Some of us do not like vulgarity or ‘assasanity’ in our country.  Politically charged people usually say and do some stupid things.  In this case it was mainly to embarrass His Excellency the President, thinking some votes would move on to them, but it could have a ricochet effect instead.
I always laugh at the idiotic antics of political aspirants, and the level they would go to denigrate others hoping for their place in the sun.
Stop being petty opponents. Petty behaviours like these make the undersigned not even interested in reading  your releases or listen to them along with many others, and most times just moving quickly from them. 
I do not see any opposition party with power to really move Guyanese and their thoughts.  I am looking but they are nowhere.  I still hope to see one.  One party that I liked, watered down itself to nothing sadly, and lost its own personality, birthright, birth power and even its name.  At this juncture, only the governing party can cause me to think of it.  My heart, my mind and eyes are looking to see if anything new and dynamic emerges.

I know the president would have the charges against the youth cancelled.  I will not be surprised if His Excellency invites him also to visit and have a chat with him and his parents.  I am not one who always sees negatives in everything.
