I watched the chief minister talk the usual bullshit (after all he and the mining go hand in hand- I wouldn't expect anything better from him!) and was looking forward to you counteracting the argument. But i am highly disappointed- angry actually. You went on saying that mining is not the problem but illegal mining is something you don't support, and that mining is good for Goa. Wendell, legal or illegal the mining has got to stop! Unless one compromises on rape. You disappoint me! In sadness, Andrea Pereira>>>
COMMENT : Wendell, why only mining is good for Goa? Have you not seen that development, mega-constructions, deforestation, concrete jungles, maze of roadways crisscrossing all over Goa, Vasco-Dona Paula sea link, Sky Bus, Mono rail, etc. all are good for Goa? And may we know in what way each of these is good for Goa if not for a selected bunch to fill their coffers at the cost or the future of Goa and its inhabitants. And does Wendell want to hint at the Chief Minister to make all illegal mining legal so to propagate that there will be no further problems? As in the Cidade case? Why do people who are not thoroughly aware of the subject agree to interviews? Or was this whole episode another Hazare media engineered reality show? Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão.
