One person on the panel was a farmer I think but his answer always began with "The answer lies in the soil." It was funny no matter what the topic was the answer always was in the soil. So as a christian forum I guess it is understandable that the answer is always in invoking Christianity.>> Really funny, Rui, but a bit too harsh and perhaps undeserved too. As a non-Christian "veteran" on this forum, I assure you that any such impression you might have gathered about Goanet in a brief period is purely accidental. It's all about seasons, yea, you've heard me right, seasons. Looks like it's the season of Catholic drummer boys on Goanet now as the others are lying low, waiting for their turn. Here you'll find Christian and Hindu zealots, right-wing reactionaries and leftist liberals, atheists and believers, bluff masters and smalltime politicians, academics and pedagogues, journalists and jesters, all vying for bandwith with gusto. Here you'll come across crassly inane to incredibly sublime posts. So my request to you is not to be in a hurry to pronounce judgment. As the saying goes, it takes all sorts...
