Cultural clumsiness, a friend theorized, may have accounted for Pinto's awkwardness in conversations. He was always putting his foot in his mouth. There was just no filter between his mouth and his brain. Comment: Definitely not Goan. 450 years of Portuguese rule filtered through his ancestors would have made Kevin John Pinto a man with at least some finesse. Roland Francis Toronto +1 (416) 453.3371

Maurice, Kevin John Pinto is not guilty of any offence, yet. If he cannot afford a lawyer, the state will provide him the lawyer he wants. Canada takes pride in its justice system. The system is opposite to that of our neighbours to our south who now torture their prisoners. Mervyn3.0 __ Yahoo! Canada Toolbar: Search from anywhere on the web, and bookmark your favourite sites.
