Dear Miguel, Initially I thought you would be around the same age of Florian, that's the reason for the "Irmao" salutation, in my last post, but now I think we could be of the same age. Thank you very much for your interesting raconteur, I now stand corrected about your love-hate relationship with Floriano which you state is only issue based, I do appreciate you openness and honesty to that aspect but I am still a wee bit disappointed none the less of your apprehensions and perceptions of the GSRP. Looking at Congress's not just lackluster but pathetic track record, I don't think we can afford to have them in power, these guys are become so arrogant and corrupt, that for Goa's sake they are not worth a second glance, "suneachi shampdie vankdi ti vankdich urteli, koshich nitt zaupachi naa", BJP on the other hand will never get rid of their communal image and they are certainly getting increasingly audacious by the day on that front. If given a choice between the two and no other alternative, I would definitely go with the BJP, reasons being I would surely know what to expect from them and can get my self ready for the worse, whereas, In case of Congress, you just don't know what to expect from them any more and they could very easily stick a knife into your back when you least expect, and secondly the BJP is firmly behind M. Parrikar so just one CM candidate who can control the situation better, whereas in Congress you'll have10 people fighting for the CM's chair and fragment the whole party and throw it in disarray. Lastly as far as governance is concerned, Parrikar is far better than any of the Congressmen, it's just too bad that Parrikar and Advani share the same intensity for communalism. The UGDP and the MGP at the moment, the less said the better, so what pragmatic solution do we have ? As I am surely gasping for some fresh air, somehow or the other I can only see Florian and the GSRP handing me some "oxygen" to replenish my aching lungs. From your statement that Floriano is a gentleman, I assume that you have a high regard for him as far as his integrity is concerned, so why don't we try to give him a chance to prove himself, what will the worse case scenario be ? Goa and Goans have already been "had" and "dismembered" for the last 46 years, we'll at least have the consolation of having tried something different for the sake of Goa. I do certainly agree with you 100% on the 73rd and 74th amendment to the Constitution of India to be implemented in totality to empower the Aam Aadmi through grass root level bodies. Power to the People, but till then we just can't afford to sit with thumbs stuck up in out mouths and wait for things to happen, if and when that power comes, it will be wonderful but till then we'll have to take the initiative and do something tangible to get Goa and Goans out of the clutches of these swamping vultures (our present set of corrupt MLA's and their well based sponsors, the mining barons and the mega developers) I did particularly like your well directed "slimily " of the Hero Honda "ad" - "fill it & forget it" the only problem being the 40-chor seem to be continuously filling it without over flowing it !!!!
