Happy New Year Twenty-Ten

Mr. Pinto,
It is because all politics are local (acc. to the late, and memorable
Speaker Tip O'Neil) and in Goa the village is the key.
[Re: Colva It is much easier to gang up, rail against, stone one known
individual as it personalizes, and justifies violence and gives it a happy
face. Village inter-relationships and politics are complex.]
Still, I think grass root organising at the village level to educate, inform
and obtain support against the mega-housing, mining, squatters and ousting
corrupt politicians, for every village, is imperative and critical.
Then on to mass demonstrations and civil disobedience.
Yes, it takes a village!

Hi Arwin,
There is nothing to question. MOPA is a land scam. It has to be OPPOSED, along
with all mega projects, tourism projects, and mining projects which are
destroying Goa. No more construction or mining till a sustainable development
plan for Goa is in place.
A complete freeze of current projects and opposition to future projects till
Goans approve a plan where all the stakeholders have a say, not just the greedy
and corrupt builders-miners-politicians nexus which is destroying Goa.
I am also surprised some Goan Catholics are taking the law into their own hands
with violence (Colva), yet no action while their God's creation (Goa) is being
destroyed by the greedy and corrupt builders-miners-politicians nexus. Which is
more important?
George
