Gilbert, Happy Easter to you and to all Goanetters.
Talking about silence, I did not see any response, from you or anyone else, to my post about the article on the horrors of the Catholic caste system in the Jesuit magazine, America, dated February 14, 2005, titled "'Dalit' Means Broken". And before you join those who have curiously taken great umbrage at a common-sense warning to be careful in order to avoid AIDS infections, you may want to re-visit why physicians take special precautions to avoid infecting themselves in emergency rooms and operating rooms, and why this is any different from sitting you butt down on a possibly infected syringe in a public place. I also hope you don't descend to calling us liars, as one super-cynic has done, for pointing out evidence of syringes left in public places, as if WE were putting someone in jeopardy. Besides, who is wise enough to decide when a topic is "beaten to death"? --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Every time I requested information to request the > poster on Goanet for the specific data, to back up > their quoted statements, I got the meek response of > silence or "OK, the post may be a hype" or more > typically, questions to answer the question. > > Most places one would get an apology for the > serious-fiction, built-in contradictions a.k.a., > 'lagao bhathi'.
