To: goa...@goanet.org Subject: Re: [Goanet] Goa to be ruled by Goans Message-ID: <4c805a1f.3060...@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Dear All While what has been discussed here is all very interesting but not new and some of the ideas to solve this chronic problem of Goa's decay are just pie in the sky, unrealistic and pointless, I am not clear as to what is the point of this discussion group and how some of the postings suddenly appear in goanet out of context? Attempts to ridicule my T shirt suggestion as one practical way in which we could show popular feeling about corruption in Goa was not very constructive . May I remind you that this technique has been used around the world and was recently used in Thailand and Iran with red and green shirts respectively, which almost brought down the governments of those countries. It is an old method of visually showing where you stand when it comes to political movements, and can be very effective - a visual and strong show of popular unity behind a cause. -- Please post your comments on my Blog: http://goanidentity.blogspot.com/ Please also see below: 1.
