because you have choose to misremember, don’t think everyone else has
to know is pain
and your ignorance will not suffocate me

Dear Editor:
I’ve perused the golden joob calendar of festivities. Most troubling to me is no mention is made of Courtney Crum-Ewing.
I have my own opinions about the joob and made a decision to boycott all related festivities months ago based on what I see as foot dragging and unwillingness in solving this crime.
It is not my intention to rain on anyone’s parade or stop my fellow Guyanese from enjoying the extra two hours of rum and fun with the extension of the curfew. These are just my humble opinions not canonical gospels.
The APNU AFC coalition rode to victory on the back of Courtney Crum-Ewing and no amount of mis-remembering will change that. He deserves better than this.
The rapid action by the Ministry of Truth in erasing Courtney Crum-Ewing from the narrative of the May 11, 2015 victory is most outrageous.
Crum-Ewing left behind three children, a mother, a father, sister, brother, cousins and many friends. Spare them a thought as you revel at joob park and stumble through the last lap at jouvert fete.
Spanish philosopher George Santayana made popular the phrase ‘those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’
African-American psychologist and Pan-Africanist Amos Wilson reworked that to read, ‘those who cannot remember the past will may never get another chance to repeat it.’
humble regards,
Mark Jacobs
