RESPONSE: Frederick I have seen Palestinian-Israel ceasefires last a lot longer than the one you declared in your last post :-) Having said that, I fully understand your indignation at Anil Desai's post. To corrupt my argument with his usual saffroni masala and tumeric paste is not a new trick. For the record, I fully support the Goan Catholic's desire to learn in the English medium. My only point is that learning must be robust and aided in every respect by the government and not left to the faulty methods of aging grandparents or nannies.
