I like the idea that black holes are the anus of the universe
Prepare to immanentize the eschaton...

Coprolalia lalalala - I can't hear you...*
...what do you make of coprolactic
I'm guessing very old chocolate milk...
definitely not copacetic...event horizon manglement...
or maybe in a cosmic sense it's what comes
out the other side of coprophagic black holes...
an inverse amalgam of galactic shit...*recycled from an earlier commentee...

Capture: Colour is the new black, in reply to Ross Mason,
eye saw thru the prism…
What colours do you see when you write poetry?
gee, um, Ross
I dunno that I do write poetryI think its more like shards, pottery,
with bits missing, rustled potsherds,
No wheeling kaleidoscopic colours
a felt continuum, spectral tendrils
maybe a bluesy buzzing at 600 THz
or a flicker of mean reds at 800nm
absorption in absurd emissions
CMYK focal impressions
Bugger RGB GUI projections
just word roulette
drawing blanks
until the killer
click, fires…
or if we are going for
the mining analogy…sometimes when deadpanning
amidst the mud and gravel
a little colour glisters
and when punning
occasionally sloshed
words spill, leaving
a whit of sparkle
or a crock…
now this guy is a poet…

Tutor tango…
Re schools, I ask again,
what … is broken?I find it a bit disturbing that, for a concept that has been foisted on us all just this week, Banks already has unnamed groups ready to go...
Banks said yesterday that Christchurch was chosen as a trial area because of the opportunities that had arisen from the earthquakes.
He refused to name the groups that wanted to set up charter schools in the city, but hoped business interests in the building industry would work closely with a charter school to bring workplace education into the classroom.
Banks said he envisaged building and construction companies co-funding charter schools, which would focus on getting pupils into the work force.
"This will give opportunities for education to become very relevant to people like myself who were not interested in school work," Banks said.from today’s Press
Christchurch Boys High seems quite keen to sell off their pupils to corporate interests as well:
Christchurch Boys’ High School principal Trevor McIntyre said he could see no harm in trialling charter schools.
There had often been a huge rift between business and schools, and the initiative could help bridge that gap, he said.
“If there’s a corporation out there that would like to invest in education, then let’s have a piece of it,” he said.perhaps Mr Banks could leave Chchch alone and try his experiment on Kings College in Auckland…
…and what’s with the Herald’s editorial stance? The final paragraph seems rather aggressive!
Indeed, a great deal of good may come from it. Perhaps that is the teacher unions’ greatest fear.
When did teacher / teacher-union bashing become a national sport…?

Good times, Pt Chev.
Excellent photo of a Masai tribesman, carrying a shield and arrows, spearing some hapless ichthyological strand dweller - Pt Chev is so-oo cosmopolitan!

Skool's out for summers...
Well, we all know the underclass need a stern guiding hand with plenty of stick and no carrot.
US report shows schools a waste of time and money...
"Some charter schools perform better than their public counterparts, some don't," Miller said. "You can't change the fact that any school, no matter how it's funded, is ultimately just another type of building to contain these goddamn monsters for seven hours a day."
