Some well meaning NRGs in their eagerness to help are attempting to reinvent the environmental arena. RE: What are we waiting for posts? Mario responds: You are correct. Because I believe their heart is in the right place, I have tried to gently "re-orient" such efforts towards the primary problem in Goa, the unholy alliance of corrupt politicians and corrupt business interests. If that unholy alliance cannot be disrupted, then little else will be achieved. lyrawmn wrote: At present the many RG activists have been the foot soldiers at the forefront not least of all brave Goans villagers battling special interests in face of threats, intimidation, litigation costs, time, etc. Nandkumar Kamat has been at his quest for over 20 years. Mario responds: Kudos to all RGs who are involved in such attempts. Those RGs who are truly interested in turning things around in Goa welcome the NRGs who are interested in the same thing, rather that the couple who were seen throwing stones from their glass houses.
