I can fully sympathize with Dr. Anesimo. However, let us not forget that democracy is a messy way of finding the way, because it needs to adjust to the demands to all sectors of the population. And many sectors of the population do not often know what they want, or do not want to dirty their hands in politics! In a democracy every dog has his day. Every election brings up some dogs to the fore! It is not like in dictatorships in which only one dog has all the days! Fortunately, as long as they last!
As for Liberation, it can never be a finished product. Like democracy it is always under construction and should continue to be so. There is no question of second liberation or third or fourth liberation... Message: 2 Date: Sat, 02 Feb 2008 08:45:34 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Goanet] Goa needs a second Liberation! To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Dear Goanet readers. I have been a keen follower of not just Goanet, but the happenings in Goa over the years (especially the social and political scene). I have decided to write on Goanet after much soul searching. Although born and having? undergone my graduate and postgraduate education in Goa, I have lived abroad for many years and visit Goa frequently. My last trip to Goa was a few weeks back and I was utterly dismayed and frustrated like? most? Goans? in Goa and around the world, by the drastic deterioration in infrastructure and total breakdown of administration since my?previous visit. I was shaken by how much disillusionment was there among the people, specially the not too well off. Wherever I went and whoever I spoke to,there was a constant refrain about how corruption has skyrocketed, specially during the last few years! http://tinyurl.com/234rql http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/1503/teo_publ.pdf
