The term "honest politician" is an oxymoron. No such animal. For the so called 'politicians' in Goa, politicking is their other job. The primary job for these profiteers is lining their own pockets. The electorate is placated with an odd bone tossed now and then. What is needed is sunshine on the finances of these politicians. Follow the money. I. Nunes lyra...@yahoo.com

Ha! Man talks with forked tongue. Mario adds: I wonder if his tongue has as many forks as there are "Goan identities":-)) My personal Goan identity will last as long as I do.
