This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mario It is perfectly possible for someone on this side of the pond to know more than perhaps a Johnny Come Lately to the States. If you disagree please tell me why. This would be of interest to me because at one stage, I was in the UK, an external examiner on The Civil Rights historical period in the USA. Further, I speculated on George's comment and question about how well the Goans in the States might know about the Civil Rights Movement. I did not say I knew for certain on this specific point and there is a difference between speculation (that is perfectly legitimate) and hard facts. Your irritation when it was suggested that, but for Rosa Parks you could have been sitting at the back of the proverbial bus, was intense and other Netters remarked on this observation too---indeed for a short while, it became an in joke. If indeed you had appreciated Parks' role you would have agreed at that point, when you threw a 'tantrum' that, yes you had something to be grateful for. But you definitely did not. Some of us are more attentive over your pronouncements on Goanet than you might imagine.
