< The process ofmaking (and unmaking) news and priorities in Goa is a very strange process. There's often no madness to the method; at least one which the average citizen can't understand. We'll need to wait till election-time when Goa's political (and boardroom) masters bare their fangs to show their diverse interests on what should have been an issue of taking a decision in Goa's long-term interest. But isn't.> [FN]
I am not sure if you are saying that the workings of the government (and media) are mysterious or not mysterious! Never mind. But I have, indeed, heard it said that potholes never get fixed until election comes around. And people vote those guys back into power when they should be thrown out for procrastination and dereliction of duty! Airports are in a different class altogether. But everything only gets magnified manifold. In this situation, the personal implication is that one should make a worthwhile effort to ensure that the 'information base' available to the public is generally sound. This is so that people dont get carried away by propaganda and persistent misinformation. Its an uphill battle. And a long one. But airports represent the apex of a state's interests. Almost everything else flows from it. So somebody has to keep plugging away, right?
