My view is to wait untill after the court case has started leaves those arrested swinging in the wind a bit too long.
i agree entirely. locking people up for the crime of 'dissent' is reprehensible.
i'm out of the loop on why they're still in the slammer, but they should have been bailed a long time ago.

@shep. kinda.
most of the protesty types from "way back when" have gone on to get jobs as lawyers, accountants, etc. they drive reasonably big cars and talk about real estate.
back then (early 1990s), i found that instead of yelling at people in the street i just adapted my lifestyle to meet the demands i was making of others.
i still recycle heavily, consume minimally, advocate and practice a multi/bicultural ethos, try to be tolerant, blah blah.
in other words, be the change you want to see.

PS. as i say, i've have been skeptical about the police from the start, and am highly suspicious of their current actions. but getting my street protest on? maybe when something is proven.

I'm pretty much over the whole self-pitying anti-Police leftist thing
ditto.
until we find out exactly how far over the line the cops have stepped in this "anti-terror" operation.
but still generally bored with middle-class kids growing dreadlocks and slumming it in trendy causes.
it's just so... "1960s".

re: churchill - what tom and rich said.
the man was a giant of this time, but utterly fallible, and a worthless strategist. most his "wins" were slick with the blood of commonwealth soldiers.
it'd be more accurate to say hitler lost the war than churchill won it.

oh, and...
I just had a look at most of the front-page YouTube NZ clips, and was most taken by this two-minute effort from a young man in search of his soul mate:
ad should read "boney emo seeks same"

You know, a foodie channel would be a great PAS addition.

maybe rb will link to us.

wow. a non-tze ming thread that just won't quit...
Truly. Barking. Mad.
it was looking for an alternative media source that wasn't completely freaking ridiculous that got me into reading blogs.
the one where the indymedia people suggested the indonesian tsunami was caused by a rogue nuclear weapon was all a bit too much for me.
young folks. with drugs. and big imaginations.
