Here is another classic example of making an issue from a non-issue. Gilbert.
Subject: [Goanet] Which future for goan communities around the world? Goan get-together at a Free American celebration! Constantino Hermanns Xavier responds: >>Why did this post bother me so much? Frankly speaking, because it is the mirror of what is going on in many goan communities around the world. >>Don't get me wrong. To adapt is not to erase. ...... The adaptive integration and the symbiosis I propose ... Response: Is not a Goan getting together as a group or individually at an American celebration "The adaptive integration and symbiosis" which you propose? I am glad you have a strong and active Goan community in Portugal. Keep it up. Every community and individual has to do what works for itself. People will vote for it freely by their feet and their wallets. Information does not hurt. Experience will tell us, what works and does not. Would you prefer Goans not meet at all, rather than meet at a well organized major cultural event (with which Goans can identify) which has some class ad quality and is free. Now if you can put up a free /low cost Goan celebration in the USA, please be my guest.
