[1] JC: Is he suggesting that IF all Goans, who have emigrated post
1961, had stayed put in Goa, then Goa would be a less dirty place? Is
it his position under that scenario, these 'bhaille' would not have
come to Goa and would not have filthied up the place.
[2] FN: There would have been less money in Goa, less affluence, and
less dirt*! We could have been more of a sleepy, green 16th century
colonial backwater, then.
[3] JC: FN must be Churchill's brother.
[4] FN Actually, I am Ricky's brother. FN
[2b] * Mrs G once said that poverty was the biggest polluter; and
never quite explained what she meant, though it made for a good
rhetorical argument. Today, we're actually suffering from affluenza.
JC's comment:
re # [1] and [2] FN has conveniently ducked the question and placed a
subverted answer in situ. Besides, something significant happened
between the 16th century and 1961.
Having noted that, in 2010 (and beyond) moneyed developers are (and
will be) gobbling up under-developed (green) land, concretizing it and
re-selling it at a premium. So Frederick's argument is a flat as a
limboo-sodh which remained out in the open for a whole day.
re # [3] and [4] FN is ducking his actually relationship with Churchill.
wrt # [2b]: All I will say to Mrs. G is "talk is cheap".
