Hard News: The Political Lie, in reply to Kyle Matthews,
Pretty awful isn’t it. Dunno who approved that as “good campaigning”.
Well, I thought the person responsible would be the owner of the site but, apparently, mentioning that is "Offensive". Go figure.
Was going to link to Labours embarrassing effort but, with luck, it will be gone by lunchtime. -

It’s invisable, I’ve decided
Is that why I can never find the remote?.

Steve, I’m not looking for advice, I’m saying these are my feelings and choices.
I was being a bit general in my comment, sorry if I came across as pushy. I do though feel that if we listen to the things that nudge us in odd directions adventure is there for the taking.
I have seen enough suffering in my life that people could have avoided if only they had stopped clinging to things.

While we are on the subject of Drugs. I think we should be taking a little more notice of the pressure "Big Pharma" is putting on Pharmac. Key say's he "will not sign if it is not in the interests of New Zealand"
The kind of pressure put on the US Government to protect "Big Pharma" is despicable. And the effect could be disastrous for our health system.

These people are predators. -

Go through the Sky ‘error’ part of their magazine
Is that the bit that says "Welcome to Sky TV"?

I guess I'll leave it to the experts.

I was thinking seriously about moving to another city for a bit, and I think for some people that’s a brilliant idea. But for myself I think right now, when I’m feeling vulnerable, isn’t a good time to be setting up a new life in a new place.
If the reason for your vulnerability is your location then a new life would be rather attractive I would have thought. We only live once and the options are manifold.

(I wont tell you about the young woman in the Okarito camp ground who was trying to light a fire with a match. Driftwood off the beach, nothing dry, no paper, nothing approaching a firelighter – except the match(es.))
So. Despair it is then. With Anne Tolley running around saying "We need to test these kids to a standard" is missing the point. The whole feminist thing of all men are paedophiles has driven the majority of those that held the reigns of Kiwi Ingenuity out of our schools. The dumbing down of society has hit rock bottom, we are destined to, once again, be serfs.
Don't get me wrong on the rights of women here but there was a middle Class push to emasculate men for the benefit of the "professional" classes and this is the result. -
I think you underestimate the average Kiwi, well, I hope you do or we are all fucked.
I despair of hearing how incapable people are of the most basic tasks of survival.
