    Interaction...

    ....qualifies as a contribution
    or is it merely subsistence?

    the machine of state needs steady lubrication,
    it's the maintenance of silence that leads to trouble...

    On November 18, 1982, Neil Roberts, a 22 year old Aucklander daubed a washroom wall with the graffiti slogan ‘WE HAVE MAINTAINED A SILENCE CLOSELY RESEMBLING STUPIDITY’ then placed a bomb outside the State Security Computer Centre at Wanganui – where files are kept on all citizens. The bomb blew Neil Roberts to pieces.

    Tom, I, too, have feelings for your post.

    We have wood!
    Bugger decorum,
    we have a quorum,
    a splinter group
    perhaps?

  • Hard News: Reading the Numbers,

    psychomaths and sociomaths...
    As well as this wonderful Key quote retrieval effort ...
    ...this article also seems to be rubbing people's noses in it:

    Charter schools will have "greater flexibility" to set their own class sizes than those in the state sector, the businesswoman leading the trial says.
    The terms of reference for how the Government's controversial education pilot will operate have been released – as the backlash over moves to increase class sizes grows.
    The document outlines the model for charter schools, which will be publicly funded per child but run by businesses or non-profit organisations. It confirms they will have freedom from some Education Ministry regulations, be able to set their own teaching practice, and will not have to stick to the national curriculum. NZEI president Ian Leckie says this will free them from complying with National Standards.

    Why am I reminded of the concept that free market electricity would lead to cheaper prices...

    Que Cera...

    I know we live in strange times, but am I the
    only one to find this a touch weird?

    Something for a local Leveson Inquiry perhaps?

    Nice to see you taking it to the man on this Press comments page...
    - Shame Nicholas Lynch can't spell your name, but at least he is directing folk to your Porcupine Farm blogspot...
    Perhaps you could weigh in on the other great Press story of Gerry Brownlee's 'straightened times' ...

    ...and there are some great photos at Gudrun's blog too.

    even the orchestra is beautiful!
    Cultures collide, and
    combine, harvests so many
    heartfelt smiles like fruit

    New Word Order...

    ...the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the
    public, or in some contrivance to raise prices

    Putting the cartel before the whores?

  • Legal Beagle: Urewerrors, in reply to Graeme Edgeler,

    Just a militia?
    I can’t think of a law that would prohibit it.

    Team Tame may have just been a
    nascent backwater Blackwater...
