Electrical current needs a positive and negative to flow smoothly. One among the positives got a State funeral recently. There are many more in line for the 50th Anniversary of Goa's liberation. Carmita says: Sorter, a fatal short circuit is exactly what some people in Goa need! And plenty of shocks by lightening followed by thunder storms will probably speed up the process of cleaning up Goa.....if you see what I mean, metaphorically speaking, of course! Sorry, missed the point about the State funeral - not sure what you are talking about. Soter says: With whom do we start? Gaudes or Kamats? Carmita says: The order of shaking the corrupt culprits to the core, is irrelevant. The entire system of Goa and all politicians from all parties, all governments officers, police, etc. etc. and big business, every one needs to be shaken to the core and given the shock treatment preferably all at the same time - a very clear and powerful message that civil society of Goa had ENOUGH! I am talking about declaring WAR to corruption. If you have any better suggestions, please share them with us! But keeping quiet and accepting it all as if there is no solution - NO! There is a solution! It is not going to be an easy solution, but it is time to show that we mean business - catch them red handed and NAME and SHAME and protests and so on , is what we need to go for to start with. Above all Sorter, what is needed is the will of the people, including you, to do something and I assure you that if we all join forces get organised and serious, we can do it. But we need to cooperate and be positive ! Our individual past experiences sucesses and failures and disappointments etc should be used as lessons to build up the FORCE AGAINST CORRUPTION, and not to try and undermine efforts, however small, against this evil, which like a terminal disease, is killing Goa.
