Praise The Lord! I accept your allegation ,if that is what it is,but ,don't you agree that if somebody is faced with a problem those who can should lift them up higher not sink them lower. I would not allow my sister to be a prostitute,I would try to rehabilitate her,wouldn't I ,wouldn't you? Are women facing problems not worthy of our LOVE,COMPASSION and UNDERSTANDING,are we to let them GO DOWN and watch it ? I think it is most hurtful ,that in this day and age we can encourage perversities ,simply because it does not hurt us, Marlon,do you know the hurt and pain in the lives of Prostitutes,Behind all the make believe? Do you think there is HUMAN Dignity in their lives? Do you realise that the underworld fosters it,even in countries where it has been legalised? Have you seen the Crime Syndicates all around? Don't you hear of so many kidnapping etc Have you seen ,the Filth,Squalor, the Disease that prevails? I can't believe that legislation,can change it! Not ,in a state where so much of poverty Prevails! We can see What Legislation of Alchol has done ,Homes have become bars and if there are children,you can see what happens to their impressionable minds! Are Economic Considerations a indication of wellbeing of any nation ? Some People are professionally Hired Killers, will you still say: "Every profession and every person needs to be respected, because it could easily have been one of us doing that job." No ,Marlon We cannot accept your opinion,we may respect you as a person and your contribution, People in Goa,even if you have an UN controlled Opinion Poll will reject this outright! We welcome you for every thing good you are doing ,but my friend at least me personally ,I will not accept this. I have been an economics student at one time and everything in our lives is part of a cycle,everything ,with all of us follows a cycle of thought, I have no doubt you will change your mind as you grow older and you experience the Joy of GOD in your life . By the way ,I am not throwing the Bible at any one. I believe we are all Instruments in HIS Mighty Hands and the Bible for many of us is our USER MANUAL, which enables us to understand our lives. When you are Called ,and one day ,you will,kindly keep it near at Hand,Marlon So Long! On The Internet! Auspicio F.M.Rodrigues SIMPLY GOAN, Simple Goan!
