1: Fred Noronha asked: <The murderer was promptly sentenced to jail. Come
December 1961 (and the end of Portuguese rule) and the accused gets off and
leaves jail. Ergo, all freedom fighters are bogus? >
2: Fred Noronha noted: <But to question the bonafides of all (Freedom
Fighters) is just the lazy way out.
3: Fred Noronha opined: <I think some of us can't overcome the hangover of
suffering a perceived loss of power and clout after the demise of the
Portuguese regime. And any stick is good enough.>
4:Fred Noronha: <Floriano, I fail to understand your logic. Or is there
something I'm
missing?>
jc's input:
Did Floriano Lobo write that "ALL Freedom Fighters are bogus" or Did he
write that "Most of the criminals of those days are today's pensioned
Freedom fighters" ?
Is there something that Fred Noronha is missing? May be not. What certainly
appears to be the case, is that Fred may found something that Floriano did
not lose!
About the "hangover"! Intriguing proposition. Wonder what relevance it has
to Floriano's statement.
It is possible that I should re-read before I hit the SEND button.
Sometimes, the subconscious let's surface some interesting "hangovers".
Hic!
