The Heraldo!? Jorge!!! Unlikely Besides, do you not believe that Portuguese bashing has been developed into an art form? Problem: If you have power cuts Goa 2002 Slick Answer: Arre! at least you got electricity now.

Problem: Marathi is getting more attention and Konkani being short shrifted Slick Answer: Arre! during Portuguese time....etc etc etc Jorge...I submit that it is fashionable to beat up on the Portuguese. Whether it is right or wrong is immaterial (remember Goebell). It is also a convenient escape hatch for inefficiency. You are man of words.
