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.

Why only voice disappointment over Wendell's remarks? Since November 2006 there have been many blasphemous remarks from celebrity TV activists of Goa who are conversant with any subject under the sky. The Gram Sabha was dubbed anarchist, whereas the same voice in the case of Anna Hazare has changed to 'people's power is supreme.' When it benefits someone it is a matter of jubilation, when it does not benefit another it is disappointment. Why are there no comments on Wendell's other more serious subjects like 'ethnocide' of the goan people? All hypocrites! -- Soter D'Souza Socorro,Goa 9890056616

Re: [Goanet] Wendell disappointing on NDTV 24/7
What this proves to me is that people in Goa even the good intentioned and educated ones, have not understood yet the real and serious implications of mining in Goa. I have not seen the programme, going to try and catch it tonight. The confusion in people's minds about legal and illegal mining persists! What people don't realise is that the legality or illegality of mining in Goa IS NOT THE ISSUE. The real issue is the nature of the strip mining industry - the level of irreversible destruction of nature, water resources , people's health and so on. Also people forget that there are alternatives to mining in Goa - a whole range of sustainable and green industries that are more in tune with the sensitive and fragile ecology of Goa. There are a lot of myths about the mining industry in Goa that we need to dispel. Next November I will try to give several talks on mining in Goa to raise awareness and tell the inconvenient truths about mining in Goa. Illegality is a problem, but compared with the negative impact on nature, illegality is the least of our problems.

Re: [Goanet] Wendell disappointing on NDTV 24/7
What I would like to know is how Wendell Rodrigues got into a mining discussion with Digamber Kamat on a public forum. Did Claude Alvares or Carmen Miranda decline? Or in Goa is iron ore mining somehow equated with female fashion design. Roland Toronto. Sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry device on the Bell network.
