  • Speaker: Not in my name, and not in his either,

    They have become a by-word for mindless prejudice.

    Its what those in organisations do. Subsume individuality to the continuation of the organisation, and we have a lot of them govts with all its subgroups, corporations, and so called social organisations. These groupings adopt a lazy confining definition of "people" and filter everything through that. There is no leadership coming from them, just crowd control doctrines.

  • Hard News: Done like a dinner,

    vision for ICT beyond “yeah, we’d better have a policy” and that means even though we have an industry that could rival dairy farming in terms of input to GDP, we’ll never take advantage of it because computers and the internet are just for geeks.

    How about finding a way to make all OS's compatible from point X say a time or product/ chip what ever. And take on MS and Mac. Who the fuck needs to buy a new chunk of plastic every updated OS. Its time we realised we cant keep consuming. And dairy farming is a farce in this country now.

    It’s as if sports stars are public property and nothing more than proxies for our own frustrated childhood dreams of athletic success

  • Up Front: Oh, Grow Up,

    Those lists of things people should be able to do to be proper… whatever. Men. Women. New Zealanders. Grown-ups. They’re normative and stereotype-reinforcing and they’re always going to make someone feel excluded and inferior.

    Whats that called again ?'in grouping' or something. Huddle together to feel safe and warm. We are a neurotic species ...sometimes. Our collective moments of clarity are rare.

  • Hard News: We need to talk about Kevin,

    I, for one, am not about to complain

    I'l just whinge a little bit then.
    I wish I could look forward to Jane Campion's new made for TV Drama. But I dont have Sky.
    The Holly Hunter character is apparently based on UG Krishnamurti. The person who told a certain Madame Blavatsky and a lot of others he didnt want the role they were grooming him for, a reborn kinda christ! IMO a very intelligent person. And the male characters look like unlovely cartoon versions kiwi "blokedom" Which it really is anyway.
    ok Whinge over...
