[2] George Pinto asked: Is it Frederick's position that expat Goans are wrong simply by virtue of being expats? [3] Marlon Menezes opined: As Goanet's patron saint, Fred is holier than thou. In Fred's world, if you live abroad, believe in free market capitalism, don't have a long beard, don't wear thick rimmed nerdy glasses and don't walk around in sandals (the cane is optional though) and keep muttering something about linux, open source, copyleft, open communism, er, commons, you cannot be one of the chosen few. COMMENT: I have no comments on St Fred except to say that he is yet another saint from Saligao like St Kevin. I seriously doubt that Goans (in-pat or ex-pat) especially the ones who frequent GoaNet will be able to do very much about Goa besides just talk, drink, dance and vent some frustrations. If one reviews the situation objectively .....they are liberated from their ability to do very much. If you believe or know differently - please advise. Of course, St Fred will counter this by saying: Aare what you know? You are sitting by your keyboard 10,000 miles from here. Ask amcho Governador Sidu. Even he says that Goans are 'besht'. And then, Governador Sidu entertained another vacationer at the Residencia Official. jc
