The Delaney family seems hell-bent on OIMBY (only in my back yard). I wonder why they won't heed to the community request to shift the tower to other sites, as proposed in earlier emails. No doubt they and Cyril have invested a lot in work already done - but then they continued to do the work even when they were requested not to do so and to engage in a dialogue. Even so, considering their financial loss if they agree to shift the tower elsewhere, could they perhaps utilize the built-up area for something more eco and community friendly?

I believe there is no place in Goa where you can put a tower with no residences within 500 mts radius. This means what the abreu vaddo group is asking for if they do not give up their phones is NIMBY. I hope you see the point. Nice argument! It's like saying: I too will oppose murder, provided all those against it first surrender their kitchen-knives. As for NIMBY, it can be used to justify just about anything controversial and disliked by a community. Check out its roots and where it comes from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIMBY NIMBY >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Airport_overhead.jpg> Description: Image removed by sender. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Airport_overhead.jpg> Description: Image removed by sender. An <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport> airport is a typical example of a development that can cause a NIMBY reaction: developers may claim economic benefits for the city, while locals may benefit from improved transport links and new jobs-but they may oppose it with objections to the noise, pollution and traffic it will generate. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nimby_unfinished_tower.jpg> Description: Image removed by sender. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nimby_unfinished_tower.jpg> Description: Image removed by sender.

Motorists requesting less car traffic in their street NIMBY or Nimby is an <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym> acronym for the phrase "not in my back yard". The term (or the derivativeNimbyism) is used <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pejorative> pejoratively to describe opposition by residents to a proposal for a new development close to them. Opposing residents themselves are sometimes called Nimbies. The term was coined in 1980 by Emilie Travel Livezey, and was popularized by British politician <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Ridley,_Baron_Ridley_of_Liddesdale> Nicholas Ridley, who was <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Party_(UK)> Conservative <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_of_State_for_the_Environment> Secretary of State for the Environment.[ <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed> citation needed] Projects likely to be opposed include but are not limited to tall buildings, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_plant> chemical plants, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_park> industrial parks, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_base> military bases, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine> wind turbines, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination_plant> desalination plants, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landfill> landfills, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incinerator> incinerators, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_plant> power plants, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison> prisons, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIMBY#cite_note-mw-0> [1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_telephone> mobile telephone network masts, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School> schools, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_waste_dump> nuclear waste dumps, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landfill> landfill dump sites, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_hostel> youth hostels, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_farm> wind farms, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf_course> golf courses, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_development> housing developments and especially <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport> transportation improvement schemes (e.g. new <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road> roads, passenger and freight <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway> railways, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway> highways, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport> airports, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaport> seaports). NIMBY is also used more generally to describe people who advocate some proposal (for example, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austerity> austerity measures including budget cuts, tax increases, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downsizing> downsizing), but oppose implementing it in a way that would require sacrifice on their part. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIMBY -- Saligao-Net is at http://groups.google.com/group/saligao-net To post to this group, send email to saligao-net@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe email saligao-net-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com -- Saligao-Net is at http://groups.google.com/group/saligao-net To post to this group, send email to saligao-net@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe email saligao-net-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com
