Re: Subject: [Goanet]Journalists in Goa
Mr. Bhatcar, I do know how corrupt previous administrations were. What I do not know is whether this administration is any different from those previous ones! I doubt very much... As for the streets of Panjim being cleaner, great, if it is true (someone said recently on this net that Panjim is cleaner than London and New York! Too bad I don't believe in Santa Claus any longer...) But please make sure you are not looking at a tree and missing the forest behind. As for Salazar and Parrikar, please don't get so worked up. They can't obviously be compared, for any number of reasons. I was obviously mocking Teotonio de Souza's ridiculous reference to Salazar in his initial posting. Some people are so obsessed with Salazar they can't get over it, even after all these years!

Re: Subject: [Goanet]Journalists in Goa
Let me get this straight: Isn't Teotonio de Sousa doing just that - giving bold advice to Goans, from far away? (Lisbon is quite far from Goa...) He does not have to live and survive in Goa any longer, thanks to his Portuguese nationality, and he resides in Lisbon. But he appears to take an interest in Goan affairs, just as I do. He should also get himself updated - Salazar died in 1971, now his successor in Goa is the Parrikar regime! Perhaps the difference is only in the name... So much for the so-called (and self-styled) world's largest democracy!
