Mervyn and Tim, let's try this again: Someone (the Indian navy) steals your house (Dabolim). Instead of fighting to regain your home, you say let's then build another house (MOPA) to house your family (Goans) and univited guests (migrants to work on illegal projects like MOPA and mega-projects). And you think it is ok to that illegal money from the construction of the new house (MOPA) goes to the MOPA builders (non-Goans) and their agents (politicians).
All of this while your family home (Dabolim) was sufficient for your current and future family needs and their economic future. In addition, the people (the Indian Navy) who illegally occupy your current home (Dabolim) have an alternative facility at Karwar available for their use, but they prefer your home (Dabolim) and want to bring their buddies (retired Indian naval officers) to come over and also confiscate your neighbors land around your home (Dabolim) so they can enjoy Goa at the expense of Goans. And oh by the way, when you build your new home (MOPA), they would like your Maharashtrian neighbors to use your new home (MOPA) and integrate it with Maharashtra. MOPA will be the final nail in Goa's coffin. Ok for some, not for me. George
