George,
FYI, not every thing has gone into the COFFIN before it is nailed shut.
Little something has refused to be enclosed shut and is outside he COFFIN
making a din, however miniscule just like an ant would try to sting the leg
of the ELEPHANT.
There is still hope in these crucial elections for little DAVIDs and /or
little KRISHNAs to be armed with vote based SLING-SHOTS/s and/or SWORDS to
slay
Goa's long stagnating political GOLIATHs and/or NARKASURAS.
It is time for every CONSTITUENCY's concerned voters to identity little
insignificant Davids and/or Krishnas and arm them with thier vote wapped
sling-shots and/or swords.
Cheers
floriano

Subject: [Goanet] Goa, RIP
When I have written Goa, RIP, in the past on this forum, it is clear that
I am referring to the political set-up in Goa and not to the rest of Goan
society which is generally wonderful (food, music, culture, art, music,
literature, etc.). Just wanted to make that clear before some sensitive
soul with low self-esteem defensively writes some nonsense about critical
NRGs, life in America, etc. This is a Goa forum, hence the Goa mention.
With that in mind, the upcoming elections mean little since Goa's coffin
has already been nailed shut by the policies of the two national parties
in the last 15 years. Let the Goan corpse lie, we have disrespected the
motherland enough by raping the soil for mining and then urinating and
defecating through mega-project "development".
At best now we can hope that a few ethical independents get elected to
rattle the grave and resurrect a new Goa. For some in Goa it will soon be
Easter and a religious resurrection. For all of Goa, we must remain
optimistic for a political resurrection.
Regards,
George
