Dear Cybergoans: It had to happen sooner or later - the internet used for political propanganda in Goa. This is not necessarily a bad thing as it will allow cybergoans an opportunity to better understand the parties (although the logic of the excerpt above completely escapes me). Besides Goa Su-Raj and the BJP, perhaps we can hear from MGP, UDP, Congress, etc.? Here is a request: does anyone have a list of the top 5 priorities each party will take care of if elected. I understand there is a huge distance between promises and action and rarely do the two meet, but it would be a useful start to undertanding what the parties think are Goa's current priorities. The very general political-speak and glorious platitudes are not specific. I hope someone can provide this reference list (call it a "Voter's Guide" to the political parties if you wish). And on an unrelated topic, if someone is ambitious enough can we get a top 5 list of advantages and disadvantages as it relates to Portuguese colonial rule in Goa. I am curious to see what SPECIFIC items Goans consider as advantages and disadvantages. Too often I read generalities. For example when one speaks of British colonial rule, a SPECIFIC advantage listed sometimes is the widespread use of English and the rail system and a SPECIFIC disadvantage is said to be the civil service which spawned today's inefficient and corrupt bureaucracy (whether one agrees with this assessment is not important). What I am trying to undertand are the top 5 SPECIFIC claims as to advantages, disadvantages. Regards, George __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
