This forum has mostly focused on Goan issues recently, a good thing. I was a little surprized to read the reference to Ronald Reagan below and Father's day. Two things struck me - 1. Do we need to go outside the Goan community as we often do to find our heroes and heroines? Often to the west and whites? Is that how we gain validation for our lives and values? 2. I do not like to speak ill of the dead, but is Ronald Reagan the example to be used on Father's Day? I know his children must be proud but I wonder about the many several thousand orphans in Central America who fathers died fighting Reagan's bogus wars there in 80's. What do those children think of Reagan on Father's Day? I immigrated to the USA a week before Reagan was elected President and was old enough to remember the lies he told.
