Dear editor of the daiy observer,

I am a citizin of Antigua and Barbuda, who witnessed an attact on Brother Man from his fellow neighbors , inwhich he was stoned and beaten. This kind of act is outrageous and absurd, especially since this man John Power is a kind and giving and religious man who only seeks to do good by his people and by god, and anyone who was a part of this act should be ashamed of themselves.

We as a society look down on the rasta farians because we do not understand their ways. The way they dress, eat and wear thier hair are confussing to us so we tend to lash out on them freviously. This should not be the case since they have not comitted a crime and have not bothered anyone physically. We also as a society must live as one and accept everyone including rasta farians for who they are. Everyone has different believes, values and lifestyle but does that mean we must treat them with less respect? i think not! Rasta farians do not deserve to be treated any differently from others. a word to the wise is to treat others as you would have them treat you.

I close my letter and hope that people would heed my word and start treating everyone, includind rasta farians as one.

sincerly

Paula Simon
