Dear Carmen,
"">And please, the sceptics and cynics out there, save your "latin" and
sneering and negativity for yourselves. Positive thinking is what we
need.""
A careful note has been taken of the above. :-)
And here's something positive from my end. Let us have 'Carmen-Tony Luis'
Special in Panjim on 9th. December with 'PPS' T-Shirts, Caps, stickers what
have you. After all 'PEOPLE FOR POLITICAL SANITY ' makes 'forces
irrespective of political affiliations and religion'. Will you not agree to
this?
BTW I was thinking in terms of 19th December. Knocking off the '1' is Ok by
me.

Subject: [Goanet] The endemic corruption in Goa - shall we start
doingsomething about it?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no doubt that CORRUPTION has become endemic in Goa. That is not
surprizing, because it is endemic in India, and in other countries of
course. But I am now concerned about Goa.
Everyone seems to be appalled by corruption and affected by it. It affects
every aspect of people's professional and daily lives, governance, and
business. It has become part of the DNA of Goa.
I think time has come to stop talking about it and do something about it.
The 9th of December has been declared by the UN the international
anti-corruption day. An ideal and symbolic day to launch a campaign
against
corruption. Time to join forces irrespective of political affiliations and
religion, and express the popular mounting indignation and rejection of
this
culture of corruption that is destroying Goa in every respect.
And please, the sceptics and cynics out there, save your "latin" and
sneering and negativity for yourselves. Positive thinking is what we
need.
If no massive attempt is made to say NO to corruption, how are we ever
going to achieve a society where integrity and honesty are again part of
the
equation in life in Goa?
Carmen Miranda
