Helga,
I am becoming a great fan of yours. You tell it like
it is. We need more women on this forum. Hurrah for
women.

Thanks Elisabeth. I too wonder why there aren't more women on this forum.
Maybe its for the same reason that there aren't any women priests? Actually
I am not sure why there aren't any women priests either!

Dear Mario,
I am glad to hear that you have never felt ashamed. I
on the other hand frequently feel ashamed about many
things in life. For instance I am ashamed I inherited
my father's mustache and have to spend a lot of money
on tending to it every month.
Thank God, there were many people in S.A

Dear Mario,
To slightly misquote Mark Twain, rumours of my demise
have been exaggerated. It was my laptop that had met

Actually Kevin, it's fair play. Afterall, that's what
a democracy is. That's the reason, so many stalwart
Goans risked their life and limb, so we can could be
freed from the shackles of colonialism and become a
democratic state.

Why? I am ashamed too. This is not a 'I Look at Goa through UV glasses'

Dear Felly/Frankie,
This admonition is totally uncalled for on a public Goan forum. Elisabeth
eloquently states what many of us only have the courage to think (ie. those
of us who do THINK).
I have publicly renounced the trappings of faith in a supernatural being
and have attracted my fair share

Welcome back :-)) I guess you can take the Goan out
of Goa, but you cannot take Goa out of the Goan :-))

Dear Francis,
Thank you for the advice. I maybe ashamed to be Goan
on account of the Da Vinci Code debacle but I am still
a Goan and there are still Goans in Goa and in
diaspora, that make me proud to call myself a Goan. No
doubt, the Da Vinci episode will soon be forgotten but

Good job Cecil.Yes we now have the dubious honor of being one of the few
