Dear Goanetters, If I should dispense with 'generalities' [as Joe Wright did] and asked the worthy gentleman who wrote "If a woman (or man) wants to sell his/her "services" and if a customer wants to purchase these services, they should be free to do so", if he would stand by his conviction if this "woman" was his own mother,wife or sister or, in the present day trend, this "man" was his father,brother son or dear friend ? If his answer is an affirmative YES , I salute him. If NO, he should not prostitute such ideas on goanet or any other forum!
It is a difficult choice, may be even a Hobson's choice, a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea,but it is still a free choice. What is it going to be? "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for everything." Joe Wright. Viva Goa Miguel Braganza ----- Original Message ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Goanet digest, Vol 1 #476 - 10 msgs > 5.

In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev.Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively.
