Hi Oscar, Thanks for your post. For the greater good of Goa who would you prefer as Chief Minister of Goa: IITian Manohar Parrikar or undereducated Goan Gaon Goon dorji - turned MLA/minister such as Mickky Francisco Pacheco ? Please provide your clear concise choice between the two, with your justification and not an evasive, convoluted answer.

It will not work in isolation, without the concurrence of other factors, including integrity. Second, politicians should not be evaluated by âinput factorsâ or âingredientsâ which go in their make up, such as academic achievement, but by results they are able to deliver. In the case of Mr. Parrikar, it should be asked if the Goan Catholic Community received equitable treatment, specially when it comes to employment opportunities. Building Cinema complexes for International Film Festivals, or other public works for visibility is not enough. Or if BJP and RSS types were the main beneficiaries. Finally, how was the vandalizing of Fontainhas by âfreedom fightersâ dealt with?

Felipe Neri Ferrao. Goa is also fortunate to have India's first IITian turned CM in Manohar Parrikar and so many successful Goan entrepreneurs in its world wide diaspora. However, we are less fortunate to have Goan Gaon Goon lawmakers like undereducated dorji-turned minister Mickey Francisco Pacheco or nefarious characters like undereducated MP Churchill Alemao or Joaquim Alemao as elected representatives. Its about time - Goans send the Goan Gaon Goons ro their early retirement and ensure meritocracy in government - all for the greater glory of our beloved Goa. Best Regards, Dr. Carmo D'Cruz, Goan, IITian, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida.v July 27,2006 Goa Archbishop laments corruption in society http://www.theindiancatholic.com/newsread.asp?nid=2606 PANAJI (ICNS) -- Archbishop Filipe Neri Ferro of Goa and Daman says there is an erosion of values and principles in governance and rising corruption in the society and that families and schools can help children making citizens in India. In a pastoral letter addressed to the priests, religious and laity in the diocese, the Archbishop lamented that society is enmeshed in corruption and wrong doings.
