Isabella Rebello-Hamm <[email protected]> notes: You are right JC. Nobody is comfortable with filth!

Reading through some of the posts here on GoaNet, it appears that there are those who do not mind the filth that is now enveloping Goan cities and towns..... as long as they find their little 'chokra boy' to do work for them. Mario observes: Have either of you visited somewhere in the rest of India recently? The entire country is publicly filthy, with very few exceptions, so why would Goa be different? I have never understood exactly why. And there is no end in sight. I have visited other relatively poor countries and nothing I have seen compares with the mess that India has seemingly always been. I can only speculate that it has something to do with a careless and callous national attitude towards others, which then manifests itself in public filth, urinating and defecating in public, spitting all over the place, throwing garbage in public places, and the lack of respect for others when negotiating the country's highways and byways in powered vehicles.
