Letter to the Editor 2010


My annual letter to the local press:-

Dear Editor,

After all these years I think I have finally understood the relevance of the message on the six flagpoles situated to the north of Bridgetown. Easter. S.U.S.E.J. It is, of course, to venerate the Venezuelan soap star and bikini model Susej Vera. (Look her up on the internet).

But why would the good people of Bridgetown revere a South American actress ?

Does she, in some way, resemble the Saxon goddess Eostre from which the holiday Easter comes from ?

I guess over the last few millennia we have had our fair share of shamans, charlatans and snake oil salesman.

Lets leave the idolatry and share in a sane and secular Bridgetown.

A.T.Heist
