The mindlessness of successive American Governments has never ceased to amaze me. But now I am even more amazed to see that such disconnected mental thought processes has permeated not only to the American people but to some of those of Goan origin also.
My God ! Encouraging mentally handicapped and unemployed people to grow tomatoes in order to hone their growing skills with a view to alleviating their poverty is an idea that must surely be reflective of the bankruptcy of thought of some Americans. "Those whom God wishes to destroy, he makes mad first" would apply not to the mentally challenged but to those that have such bizarre solutions for them. Gilbert how about diverting all those billions of dollars your Government is spending on futile wars and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan which would be more than sufficient to completely eradicate poverty in your entire country and enough to provide free quality education to those gangsters and drug dealers that crowd your cities, so that they become productive members of society and hopefully own enough land to grow some tomatoes.
