Dear Samir, In my opinion it does not behoove you to make the comment below. It is very true, not at all hurtful to me (just to be clear), but I feel it reduces you. They are all massive opportunists. In that sense they have learned some worthy lessons, but I doubt many of them came from the Arthshastra. Any given majority (as in a congeries of voters) at any given time will result in their ending up having elected one or the other, so it will be the Ranes or the Kamats, or the stalwarts of the BJP, or whoever.
I also say the above considering that you writing in the Goan press has been applauded on Goanet. Particularly interesting ideas such as bleow, in http://oheraldo.in/pagedetails.asp?nid=23318&cid=14 I doubt if there is any Goan who hasn’t heard this famous ballad: “Aage mhoje mai / Pedru podlo baient / Nisonn pavona / Pedru gavona.” (O, Mother / Pedru fell in a well / but the ladder was not long enough / Pedru couldn’t be found). The only consolation in this story if there is any is that at least someone tried to save Pedru. That counts for something, all thoughts do teach us of the societies which we represent in whatever manner. venantius > > From: Samir Kelekar <samir_kele...@yahoo.com> > Subject: [Goanet] Goa to withdraw hundreds of complaints to save > minister > To: goanet@lists.goanet.org > Message-ID: <864445.9431...@web34205.mail.mud.yahoo.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > > Actually the shame is on Goan people who elect crooks such as Vishwajeet > and opportunists such as Digambar. > > samir >
