i am surprised at the debate over the submissions of comments on non-goan issues to goanet. i am disappointed that the historic victory of barack obama in the us got caught up in internecine political arguments. goa has huge interactions with the world, in a real way, as opposed to merely business and finance. you should open up your platform to the discussion of various national and international concerns.
otherwise you risk making goa insular like the rest of india. that would rob this paradise of its cosmopolitan charms and by default cede public debate to venal panchayats, misguided activists and corrupt partisan politics. you should not allow your wonderful platform to be hijacked by narrow local issues. there's much more goa has to offer than arcane preoccupations about language, ethnicity, social divisions and political intrigue.
