My dear Dr. Francisco, I am most glad that you have had time to comment on my post. However, I would like to remind you that I have always known how to separate the chaff from the grain. You specifically, Datta Naik and others of the Lok Shakti , are, have been and always will be the stalwarts in the defense of Secular Goa and Secularism in general. My feelings of frustration have been vented on the persons whose names I have mentioned in my write-up. Rest assured the unnamed are our friends and should remain friends until we can clean up the rotting guts of Goa even with the little help from the weeping Judases themselves who may want to save their necks from the impending noose. There are many persons who are doing much much more than I could ever do for my Goa. May I say that I am just a little pawn in this big game, like many others, and , it being there, will not make a bit of a difference unless the bigger, taller players will lend their logistic support to protect their rear, so that they may fearlessly advance to inflict whatever damage possible on the enemy. I do not deserve the praise that you have openly and publicly lavished on me. But I thank you for your heartfelt feelings. Rest assured that this little pawn will keep on advancing without showing its back to the enemies of Goa and Goans irrespective of: With kindest regards in reciprocation Floriano goasuraj ----- Original Message ----- From: "Francisco Colaco" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 10:41 PM Subject: [Goanet]The Togadia-Goa Affaire > Dear Floriano, > > The overall picture you have drawn is very correct > and, my God, so horrendous! > > To be sure, this is one of the most difficult and > crucial periods in our history. > > What we are going through is worse than colonialism, > Nazism, all put together. > > The only silver lining is that more and more people > are awakening to the grim reality of what is happening > in Goa and are clearly expressing their voices of > condemnation despite fear of reprisals. > > And, God willing, a new era will dawn. > > Permit me to disagree with you, however, when you > refer unfavourably to those who gave press releases by > saying "those smart people were waiting for Togadia > as a scapegoat, to vent their feelings".
