Dear Editor,
Because I frequently make use of the opportunity to write letters to you, which you oftentimes publish, people approach me to either congratulate me or to let me know what’s on their minds. Some asking me to write about it, others I assume, hoping that I would write about what they spoke to me about. Those who ask me, I always encourage to write it themselves, because I will not take the responsibility nor the praise for their opinion.
From experience I know that those persons would say that they told me what to write. Since I wrote that piece stating that we need more priests and ministers I got good feedback and I will go against my principle and write about some of these comments.
It is known that teachers have always been in a position to give advice to parents about their children’s tendencies, so I should approach the teachers for them to monitor which students have the tendency to become a man of the cloth. I look at it differently. I say because Christianity goes a long way in curbing violence in a country, instead of being influenced by the minority who are abusing rights acquired, not earned, to take the bible out of the schools, government should look into a way of putting back the bible into the schools. And like I was reminded about, split up the classes and juggle the subjects so that bible lessons can be given and those who are against bible teachings will have another subject for those few hours that bible lessons are given to the others.
I am not talking religion. I am talking studying the Bible. The most read and real life illustrated book in the world (in all languages). We fight for all kinds of freedoms of the lowest class. We fight to give all kinds of sexual priorities. Even paedophiles are looking for rights to abuse children. So again why do we not reject those laws that Holland wants to force on us and do the right thing.
Do what our culture is about and not what ignorant people who want to force their sick behaviour on us want. Am I really to believe that all of those MPs agree with the sexual persuasion of our Kingdom partners? Don’t the MPs have a preference, so where is their backbone. How do they sleep at night. How do they look their children in the eye and say “daddy (mommy) have to go against what daddy (mommy) instilled in you because others with a completely different culture have decided that.” And what will they answer when their children answer them “but daddy (mommy) you can’t tell the voters that?”
Permit me to give a shout-out to cuzzo Joslyn for giving credit and honour where credit and honour is due. My heading would have been “Keep her there.”
In closing, I would not have used “chicken leg and Johnny cake” as an example but rather “a beer or a drink” etc. Chicken leg and Johnny cake is close to the St. Maarten people’s heart or as some would say is part of our culture and should not be thrown around loosely.
