Hard News: Friday Music: That Hammer Time, in reply to Ethan Tucker,
Jimi Hendrix’s hand-decorated guitar
I actually met Jimi Hendrix, in a corner store on South Mouton Street in London. He was buying a pack of tissues, he had a cold, I was star struck...

Legal Beagle: Kim Dotcom and the GCSB, in reply to Chris Waugh,
allegations it had actually been used for industrial espionage to give US businesses a head start on their European competitors

So, if passing this law, the psychoactive substances bill, does that mean someone could ask the “Authorataay” to test some actual cannabis and reassure us that taking it is, indeed, “Low Risk”
Personally I think playing Rugby has a higher risk in terms of brain damage and as for drinking copious quantities of high fructose corn syrup and eating bags of chips, well… -
OnPoint: What Andrew Geddis Said, But…, in reply to alison scott,
we are kind of busy with practical day to day stuff – adapting clothing, appointment with therapists, doctors, researching…and so on. So time to be politically active is more limited
Lazy...
;-)Nah, joking aside I see this as the biggest reason that society as a whole has a responsibility to act on behalf. It is so easy to ignore those that are tied down by the chores of everyday life, that they have no energy to fight for their rights.

OnPoint: What Andrew Geddis Said, But…, in reply to Matthew Poole,
This whole thing just makes me so impotently furious. And the impotence just makes me more furious. Seriously, what can be done? Pretty much fucking nothing, as best I can tell, because these fuckers sure don’t give a fuck about public opinion.

That sounds suspiciously like something I would say…
5 day old Son? Congratulations Matthew.

In 1998, on learning of his interest in pursuing a political career, the National Party president John Slater began working actively to recruit him. Former party leader Jenny Shipley describes him as one of the people she "deliberately sought out and put my head on the line–either privately or publicly–to get them in there"
This "Shoulder Tapping" lark seem rife with this bunch.

The disdain that John key shows to his opponents is nauseating. He is only interested in the desires of the Wunch of Bankers in his vicious circle of friends.

Or maybe one of these guys.
Actually "Those Guys" are one.
The hive mind of the far right.
