Neighbours at War for example--I couldn't see the point of last night's episode about warring neighbours in Waikari
Your actual point not withstanding [although I have no idea how it managed to elbow its way into my Community binge]. What made it riveting Telly was the constant flow of puns, one-liners, and meta set-ups by the narrator. It were well pithy.
Armchair psychology and trial by public through the eyes of agenda heavy camerawork can't be wise, but then again desperate and angry people make for good teevee.
Also: Constable Keith has to be the worst mediator ever.

Although I do wish they had exposed a little more detail into the workings of the energy/core/light [it wouldn't have been too tricky] I LOVE the idea that an afterlife/limbo would exist outside of time. I actually thought the writers did a sublime job at explaining this. It's odd that so many people believe that everyone died in the first crash, it was made pretty clear by the weathered shoe and the getaway plane soaring overhead ...
He was only meant to be in a few episodes but the writers felt that his character was such a good one that they kept him on
...they kept him and merged his character [quite successfully] into another who was part of the big plan...not really a game changer.
and yes, season two was poor. but they realised this and over the next three seasons created some of the most humanistic sci-fi short stories I have ever consumed.
oh yeah, I'm a sucker for symmetry. nicely documented here: hell of a book...
(also with good screencap art from the new Dr Who...) -
and this online community leapt into action.

Possibly worth considering when tallying up the possible negatives of decriminalisation/legalisation is whether more users will utilise delivery systems that do not involve burning the leaf.
Whether it is via vapor, baking, extracting into oil/butter (yum!) or one of several other methods. I would predict that both the ability to share related information more freely [and possible commercial application] would make many of the arguments around tar, second hand smoke etc far less realistic.
cannawater on the supermarket shelf? marijuagum from the bottleshop? article in viva with the best cookie recipes?

I did neither
Sorry Mark, you either defamed or breached. You may not know for sure which, but in putting forward names it was one or the other.

I expect we will not be seeing
much more of you
After Saturday.Does no one remember what happened with John Banks. Everyone will assume the result is a given, wont bother voting, Ms Lee's small following will grab victory.
i hope i'm wrong, kinda funny if i'm not.

It's pretty psychedelic and has Moore wafting through puffs of smoke saying things like "... culture is turning to steam." Mesmerising.
love it.
if you liked that try any of the spoken word pieces [for pure intersemiotic brilliance try reading the adaptation of snakes and ladders while listening to the cd,,, wowsers!].

@ ferrit
my take on ferrit is that it probably hindered several companies from having truly effective websites, beyond just e-shops. dse for example; they would have reasonable turnover online but would be responsible for securing a LOT more trade for the actual stores. ferrit damaged that for those involved.
