All Goans dont think alike nor do they share equal ideology & thinking nor is my expectation. Its this prevailing difference that our politicians are constantly trying to widen. Their tricks are simple - create cracks widen them divide them on all possible measures and than RULE GOA. We have never countered their behavior or philosophies. We have become their slaves floating like dust particles in winds blown by them....we are still floating .dont even know in which currents we are systematically diverted too ..we dont even know which supporter will land on which land ..yet we are floating flying high .and high ..and high.
If one extrapolates this logic to Goanet one can comfortably say that Goanet also has good number of Hardcore Ideologists (implanted or otherwise, difficult to judge) both in Hindu or Catholic spirits flowing HIGH in one's blood. I have no problem with anyones ideology in the net or with their thinking. But what I am more concerned is that we Goanet members being educated members are not trying to give convincing answers to these HIGH blooded people. There are quite a good number of members who irrespective of their caste, creed, religion and even their status in the society try to give logically convincing answers. While others only try to thrash the good postings and or try to give unwanted twist to the postings as if to indicate .. We dont want you .we want to be as we are .dont preach us .. or some thing like this. Recently I have seen couple of messages exchanged showing dislike to even the names and surnames of individuals in the Net and is still continuing! I am one of the victims of such criticism by one renowned personality last year and very recently by two persons (if one is interested I can provide links from archives)!! I really dont get any clue as to whats happening with net, net members and why? I honestly feel we should devote all our creative thinking to finalizing or arriving at some point as to whats good for Goa. How should we come closer and unite to save our mother land Goa from the clutches of our (I hate to say our) politicians? Like me, you too have witnessed MGP & UGP rules in Goa; lengthy Congress rule in Goan and short rule of 4 ½ years by BJP. We have also witnessed 19 CMs in past 20 years - creating a record in Indian history. We also know how these political parties have finished Goa. So the biggest question ahead of us is to think which political party is better to rule our Goa. Is it MGP or Congress or BJP or its none of the three or whether we will be better off with Coalition form of Government or its better to have regional outfit (even though Churchill single handedly / single headedly merged Save Goa as if that party was formed with hidden agenda Sell Goa or that Save Goa was Churchills English spelling mistake one wonders these days) or should we also include Religion in politics. I think we need to grill around these issues in the interest of Goa. This vital issue needs to be debated loud and clear without personality clashes. And in doing so lets first chalk out for ourselves the pros and cons of each political party including individual politician and try to share our thoughts to arrive at some points closer to reality only to save our mother land Goa.
