Cecil, You are beginning to sound like George W. when he says, "in you are not with us, you are against us." I have no problems being Goan, Tanzanian and Canadian. I have assimilated the best from each of the three cultures and thats who I am today. Similarly, a person who lives in Goa but who calls himself a Keralite does not necessary have divided allegiances. > Or if I migrated to Canada would I become a > Canadian?

This surely must be a variation of Woody Allen's, "The food here is terrible and the portions are too small." :-) Mervyn2.0 ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
