Dear Dotor, I fully agree with you on this score. It is all about money,honey.
Dr.Samir Kelekar does seem to have convoluted[ if not eniterely contorted] thinking. What does Costao's bravado in killing Alvernaz alemao got to do with elections? Why does he not reside in Goa to fight the 'Cowboy-and-Red Indian' games he prescribes to the resident natives? He could also investigate the 100 girls story while he leads us in a fight. Says he,"It is better to fight and be dead, rather than be live as an impotent." If he is not fighting and yet living, do we surmise that our worst fears about him are true? Do we treat Floriano Lobo[ atleast one newspaper abrreviated his name to 'Flory'] as a hero or a true Moidekar? ..........................................

It is not funny when Vivian from Badem- Salvador do Mundo suggests that Communidade land be treated as Public property. Perhaps he is blissfully unaware of the history and land titles of the Communidades.Would he let his private property to be treated as such/ or suggest that the land held by the Ranes, the erstwhile Visconde the Pernem and Conde de Mayem be likewise treated as public property.[ These worthies never bought the land that they now possess/occupy.] Bad enough that the Government is taking over communidade lands for Central Government employees to build houses in Goa and the politicians are encouraging slum vote banks in Communidade land. Charity begins at home. Is Vivian willing to lead the way to sharing property with the havenots? We can then abolish the Goa Government, the Zilla Panchayats, the Village Panchayats and live forever in Utopia...waiting for the manna to fall from heaven. Viva Goa. Miguel
