Enough of all these personal attacks and questioning who is more of a Goan then
themselves !!
Think! What have you so called real Niz Goenkars allowed to happen to our once
beautiful Goa? All you have to offer is a lot of "xappotam" and hot air.
Mario observes:
Vivian doesn't write often enough, but when he does he leaves little more that
can be said:-))
For an otherwise intelligent guy, Samir has long held that Goans who live
abroad - citizenship is a red herring in this day and age - do not have any
legitimacy to opine on Goan issues and what to do about these. I was quite
surprised when I first found out that he doesn't live in Goa either.
I hope Vivian's post puts the focus where it really counts - on the Goan
government and the unholy alliances between corrupt politicians and business
interests, and the foreign drug and prostitution gangs that are undermining
Goan democracy and its quality of life while running roughshod over the
existing laws.
I don't know who in Goa has the time and resources, passion and righteous
indignation, eloquence and fearlessness to lead the citizen's revolt that it is
going to take to shake up this unholy alliance, which is not going to go down
without a fight, believe me.
