Vivian, September 2007 when I last visited Goa, does seem a long time ago I confess. I also agree that I may not be aware of the current environmental issues in Goa. At least those not covered by the electronic versions of O Heraldo, the Times of India Goa, Eddie Fernandes' Goan Voice UK and the various posts on Goanet by Clinton Vaz, Sebastian Rodrigues, Frederick Noronha and pics of JoeGoaUK.
Aside from that you have missed an important para in my post: Quote If Clinton were 28 years old in 1960, he would be advising his Benaulim (that's where he comes from, I think) audience thus: Unquote. I take it you will agree that in 1950 and 1960, killing frogs would have been a big YES YES rather than the big NO NO it is in 2009. By the way, I wonder what grandmothers do today instead of chewing tobacco, smoking beedis or inhaling snuff as they used to do in the kitchen in those times. Regards to you Vivian and all nostalgia buffs. Roland. -- Roland Francis http://roland-torontogoan.blogspot.com +1 (416) 453.3371 On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 9:33 PM, Vivian A.
