"Tirando o mal, todo e bem" (my lingua de Camoens is "ferrugente," result perhaps of years of incarceration in boarding school, so pardon my gramm..)
Bernardo, Miguel, Rui n others have been pursuing this grand debate, sometimes with very (imho) valid points. BUT TO WHAT PURPOSE?????????????? Tackling ghosts from history (in the form of snakes or whatever) will get nobody anywhere [if u r looking for a paradise bereft of snakes, re-migrate to New Zealand :- ) ] Edgar, i'm fairly convinced you are a gifted person. Could you use your persuasion, talent, whatever, to convert these highly resourceful personae to get them use their talents for something POSITIVE for their dear brethren back home, in Bharatiya Goa? ...like talking of how to avoid almost entire households, or the family's sole bread-earner, getting killed on Goa's roads ... as a matter of daily routine... ... So much that, by now, among dear Goa's "No.1" attributes must be the almost daily loss of human lives - not in cemeteries, smashanboomis or kabrasthans - but on Goa's treacherous roads? have we ever paused to think who are all these people dying, and how their survivors must be living on ... ? Portugal may be something nice to sing about, but (only by way of just one example) road accidents here in Goa occur with sickening regularity that even local newspapers routinely consign them to insignifanct space, unless a whole - or almost pf a whole - family got wiped off the planet's face. Are Goanetters, including Bernardo and Rui, listening? Sirees, lets live in the present... if this post won't do without a teaser ...

Some strutt along the cybernet catwalk wiggling their behinds and while doing so, throw bits of their egotistic mindset. I do not need toknow someone whois instructed and possesses a PHd but someone who is educated,knows how todiscourse especially with his fellowmen and have the capacity of swaying the mind of his adversary. > > > Edgar Martins > ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
