When the USA sneezes, the rest of us catch a cold; when our
institutions (other than US) through sheer greed get involved in
buying monkeys, we all suffer.
So you can be sure that when the USA is in convulsions, the rest of
the World will also be rocking.
So easy to say keep topics Goa centric.
RESPONSE: There is no disagreement over the colloquial expression "When the
USA sneezes, the rest of us catch a cold" aka whatever happens in the US
affects Goa vis-a-vis the financial implications consequent to the gyrations
on Wall St.

However could you please explain how does Bush's legacy affect Goa as far as

Marlon - 1 msgs
Maurice - 1 msgs
Mervyn - 4 msgs
In 10 days Mario had 14 messages on this thread.........6 other posters had
15 messages.
And while you are at it could you please explain how does establishing
Barak's place of birth affect Goa as far as the content of the exchanges are
concerned? The participants in this thread are:
Eric - 1 msg
Gabe - 2 msgs
George - 1 msg
Ignatius - 1 msg protesting discussion of US politics on Goanet
Mario - 4 msgs
Mervyn - 2 msgs
Miguel - 2 msgs protesting discussion of US politics on Goanet
RKN - 1 msg
11 (plus 3 protesting) msgs in 4 days.
Anything unusual re the above stats??
There is an opportunity for all to make a point on any issue here (even
OFF-TOPIC) up to a point; not endlessly, within the current set of Rules.
That may change in either direction in the future. But as of now, are we
taking our right to Free Speech a little too far in this instance??
