Dear Editor,
The changing of political affiliations by parliamentarians and the instability of the government and the consequences to the society is a matter getting much attention and so it should. Let me throw out some ideas about this phenomenon as it exists in our young parliament and country.
Dear Editor,
It isn’t really a festive celebration, the anniversary of the new countries Curaçao and St. Maarten, which became autonomous countries within the Kingdom on October 10, 2010. Poverty has increased enormously, as well as the crime rate. The world of organised crime seems to have taken over the government by buying votes and bribing politicians. In a very short period, the governments of Curaçao and St. Maarten have fallen and nobody exactly knows why.
Dear Editor,
I read the editorial of Tuesday, September 29th, and smiled, because it brought back thoughts of my father. And then I read a commentary the next day and again the same thought came to me so I decided to write something about it. As I have always commented, I was one of fourteen of two parents who did not spare the rod. Every time I think back of those days I am thankful, for I know I am not spoiled.
Dear Editor,
First a few Questions:
1. Is it a coincidence that a fall in government happened 10 days before the anniversary of 10-10-10?
2. Were the brewing rumours of a fall in government true?
3. How is it that this came as a surprise and rocked the boat?
Dear Editor,
Hello.
I have to write fast before the power goes off.
What did St. Maarten use before candles?
Electricity…
