I whole-heartedly agree with Eddie here that Goa needs a system change,
though I am skeptical if this can be extended to India as a whole
considering that the Maha Corrupters of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's time are
in command. :-))
BUT I do not agree that we must elect Honest and reliable people to replace
the current corrupt scroundrels who are constantly being re-elected to
power. According to me, there are no Bad people on this earth. Every one is
an 'Honest Joe' to the core as according to him/her.
I will support my above statement with the following:-
1. If the system is Honest and Non-corruptible, only Honest Jekylls will be
attracted to it.
2. Even if a corrupt Hyde is glib enought to endorse the system change and
manages to get elected or re-elected under the changed system of governance,
he/she will either have to make great sacrifices and belt-tightening
exercises, which are unlikely and improbable, Or, leave in frustration for
not being able to manipulate the system.
The system must be able to roll its wheels on the ROAD and towards a
definite destination. If it sports wobbly wheels, it is bound to take
short-cuts or go off the ROAD completely where the drivers remain
un-accountable, the system itself being un-accountable.
We at goasuraj have put this 'system change' on line. Happy to say that
there are many who have been attracted to it. But the number is very very
small. The problem with Goans is they will talk, talk, and talk about
wanting a 'system change'. They will fill up the internet distribution lists
with this talk and they will consume columns after columns of the news print
to stress on the system change needed. But when the time comes to vote, they
will give a thousand reasons to justify why they have voted for the same old
corrupt system.
:-))

PS1: Eddie, per se, you are excluded from my line of target sight. :-))
PS2: Let us GOANS fight Dirty Politics and Dirty Politicians. Let us change
the OPERATING SYSTEM. Let us join the 'PPS' brigade. Let us adorn our
2/4-wheelers with 'PPS' stickers. Let us show solidarity with the movement
with conviction that ' We Shall Overcome '
PPS: PEOPLE for POLITICAL SANITY .... Goa's Need of the Hour
[Note: Stickers now available at CHAMPS Sports Shoppe - MAPUSA (Clinic

Subject: [Goanet] We need to Change our Political System
We definitely need to change Goa's Political System. But we must ensure that
we elect Honest and reliable people to replace the current Corrupt
Scoundrels who are constantly being re-elected to power. If we can achieve
this, we will be able to see sustained progress in Goa. When we elect the
next parliament, we also have to ensure that the constitution is changed
restricting the number of terms one can serve in any position. This will
give rise to new ideas which in turn will lead to progress. Electing the
same old fogies to office every time only enhances their belief that it is
their right to be in the seat and emboldens them to higher levels of
corruption since they feel that nothing will happen to them. Our youth
should be encouraged to enter politics and serve in Government . This will
infuse new blood and fresh ideas into the stagnant and go no where
government of Goa.
