Dear Mario, Please don't be a contrarian because this is a free forum and obviously posts are free. If you had to pay $1 per post, perhaps you would think more carefully about what you write.
Can any newspaper in the US run classified ads saying only whites need apply for jobs, or only women will be considered or only candidates of a certain age? Can any newspaper in the US, even in its editorial page make statements that are deemed overtly racial? Mel Gibson can't even get away with being anti-Semitic when he's drunk. The reason for this is because they are held accountable either under the law or by societal pressure. Are you saying that Goans cannot make newspapers be responsible for what they publish? Why not? Why can't we hold certain institutions to a higher moral ground? Why shouldn't institutions and organisations be part of society's moral fabric? I'm surprised no one has made a noise about these classified ads. Frederick has taken a stand against them. Why not the Herald and every other paper in Goa? It seems to me, that you don't really want the winds of change to blow in Goa. You just want to blow your own trumpet on Goanet, however out of tune it is.
