Re: Mr, Bhandare's following post on the subject (quote): Dear All: Following he action of the colomb villagers, the following questions arise, which i fel are very important 1. was the fomentos mine operating legally as per the existing laws ? whether the existing law is fair or not is not the issue. 2. was the intimidatory action of the villagers legal? prima facie it doesnt seem so. 3. Finally, is mobocracy going to be the prefered solution to pressing problems facin goa ,like mining, garbage issue and other burning problems? I would appreciate if these questions are discussed. regards B. My comment: The same questions could also have been asked of the revolutionaries who stormed the Bastille in Paris and launched the French Revolurion, which changed the course of history not only of France but of the entire world, the effects of which are felt to this day! It is time we realised that the laws are meant to serve the people and not the other way round. ---Tony Correia-Afonso.
