Dear Mr Colaço You wrote - Nuttin will happen for the good of Goa if Goans do not challenge the current regime imposed upon Goans since 61. Petitions will only have superficial effects.....
Did you read the petition before you concluded that the effect will be superficial? In any case, superficial effects are better than no effects at all.... besides nothing will happen if Goans cannot even take the trouble to sign a petition and show they care. If they cannot even do as much as sign a petition, they will never challenge anybody or anything, leave alone the politicians they vote into power election after election.....and instead of acting, they will continue sitting in their balcão and bars pontificating and criticizing and possibly blocking and preventing others from trying to do something positive for Goa. Besides, the petition is part of a number of things that are being done by some of us who care about Goa. If Goans wake up and help just a little by signing, we are likely to achieve much more than you think....I know we can and we will do it. You can only gain by singning, even if you don't believe it is going to be as effective as you think... until we try, we will never know how effective anything can be. Carmen Miranda
