Dear Editor,
I bought the paper this Wednesday and the first thing I saw is that the Prosecutor wants to lock up some more people. That took me back to my father when I was becoming a teenager and started joining friends. He would tell me, "If you were not there your name could not be called.” But I do not think that with this on their minds the families could have a good Christmas, and I definitely would not like for them to be bringing in the new year in this way.
Dear Editor,
The discussion on blaming the past coalition for collapsing on its own will continue, until this new majority admits that they were the major player in the fall of government. When they look in the mirror, what do they see? Do they see themselves as honest politicians, executing their party’s motto of “putting the people first,” or as conniving, egoistic individuals, who entered politics just to enrich themselves?
Dear Editor,
Last month, bestselling author James Patterson received a National Humanities Medal for being “one of the most successful American authors of our time.” His bestselling “true crime thriller” Filthy Rich was published in 2016. It came to my attention recently, after its main character, Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead in a jail cell in New York City while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.
No one in the world supports taxation without proper representation. We should not either. It is a time to reflect on past actions or no actions taken by government.
My dear friends in French St. Martin, we on the Dutch side are giving you all full support of the demonstration and protest.
But you all citizen on the French side should take into consideration we are getting into the high season; blocking the whole road not necessary in the month of December.
