Mosa’s Pants - and Deuteronomy
Essequibo River - with certain fishermen- buddies. They agreed on condition he be always “confidential” as they termed it. That first night the Public Servant observed that they caught very little. How do they survive? He wondered silently. Then a little ’plane appeared overhead; six large plastic bags were dropped onto the sea!
Our Public Servant was warned by his Village-fishermen-buddies to “see nutten, hear nutten, say nutten, dis is confidential.” A small jet boat soon came alongside as both craft recovered the dropped bags of coke. The other high-powered vessel’s occupants spoke a Hispanicsounding language. Our poor Public Servant immediately revised his perspective on fisher-folk and piracy. Like me he was a coward, was scared, and was lawabiding. He moved to Georgetown. He is trying to migrate. Simona’s comrades should be critical, reprimanding and offering advice about humility- with authoritywithrespect- for- others. Boom out! (and oh! Recall when the P.R Presidency young lady uttered a few ethnic slurs, His Excellency still took her overseas, telling the Media “that’s enough on that issue!” Don’t make sport with the Brigadier!)
Mosa’s Deuteronomy Pants
Last Saturday’s Stabroek carried two thought-provoking Op-ed pieces. One addressed the FIFA World– Cup Final and I also liked Mosa Telford’s column “Road to freedom”.
Miss Telford knows that I’m a fan. I appreciated her research of our archaic laws which seem to violate modernday rights. Especially as those regulations seems to impinge upon the GAY-LBTQ community. Well –prosecuted Mosa.
So I have one long-winded question for her and the GLBTQ citizens: for those Christians who accept their Bible’s precepts and instructions – as in Deuteronomy 22:5 – as a vital component of their lives’ behaviour, is it okay (incrementally) to question and reject certain commandments to now accommodate today’s right and freedoms – even as those teachings are re- interpreted modified and compromised? (Whew!)
Ponder well…
So are some modern-day pirate attacks related to cocaine catches?
Name 11 ways smaller couriers secrete the Coke to take it past our airports and sea-ports.
Can recruits into the army and Police be “filtered” psychologically to assess whether they are rogues in disguise? Or do they turn bad after graduation? ‘Til next week! (allanafenty@yahoo.com)
