r,
In a previous post I wondered if you had a touch of Alzheimer's. I need to
withdraw that statement. It is becoming clear that the opposite is closer to
the truth. It is immaturity. You are clearly afraid to debate anyone of Goanet.
In fact, you are scared enough not to mention the person you are referring to.
Given this condition of yours, I wonder how on earth you are going to challenge
those that you disagree with.
A few years ago, I volunteered to support an organization that was establishing
a green zone around Toronto. One of the founders of the group was a
professional photographer. He took excellent photographs of the environment he
wanted to save but had little or no say when it came to decision making. When I
enquired why this was so, I was told that the person was temperamental. He was
a good documentor or but had no negotiating skills. Further more, the person
was of the belief that only a Toronto born person could understand why the
expansion of housing into sensitive ecological areas had to be halted.

That IS the question.
The question I have for you is: Are you capable of articulating your view?
And secondly, are you capable of debating your view?

I have a different view about Indian officials. One of the most, if not the
most beautiful building in the world, is in India. It was built by Indians. The
Indian Govt is doing an excellent job of maintaining it. The Indian Govt is
also paying for the maintenance of historical buildings in Goa. The situation
in Goa today is the way it is because of the GOAN politicians GOANS have
elected.
