Arwin, I hear you, and empathize with your sentiments. Right now, the first order of business is to save Goa from the Save Goa movements. The other day we had Dr. Oscar Rebello, Convener of GBA, claim on national TV that there is no such thing as a Goan and non-Goan. There is a thriving cottage industry of these snakes-in-the-grass activists here, these self-aggrandizing, self-promoting fellows who first ride on the aspirations of the common Goan folk and then use the popular campaigns to further their own personal and political agendas. Dr. Oscar Rebello should be asked to step down as Convener of GBA since in my emphatic opinion he no longer represents the wishes and aspirations of the Goan people. Au contraire, his utterances are guaranteed to subvert them. Regards, r
