RESPONSE: I applaud your stance; there are always two sides to a story and you have narrated the other side. The media in Goa flows with the tide; people on Goanet too, are presumptuous - everyone knows what transpired - they were not even there !! As for the Politicians - they are a bunch of bananas - waiting to be peeled to reveal their ever so white insides. -- DEV BOREM KORUM. Gabe Menezes. London, England
