As the State of Goa celebrates it's 18th Statehood Day today, are we still assuming that Delhi controls our fate?? Is it not the local populace that elects the politicians that make/break our laws to assemble wads of moolah. Almost everybody despises them (at least privately). Never mind the Freedom Fighters, what about the loss of life and limb in 1986?? On my recent visit to Goa I didn't meet any family or friends that were driven to despair when talking about their own lives except when they spoke of politicians of all hues, from the panchayat to the Ministers of the state. By constantly ridiculing Goa are we also ridiculing our own people ?? ***** Light the CANDLES - to Dispel the Darkness ***** Best wishes on Goa's Statehood Day!! - Bosco
