I was talking to an Afghan friend the other day (yes, Afghan, a bit like Spanish people having the audacity to call themselves Español) who told me that when he was there, earlier this year, he was walking down the street with his cousin chewing on a stick of sugarcane, his cousin told him not to throw the end of his cane in the street as the US troops would assume it was a weapon and shoot them both. He also told me that it was not uncommon for American troops to shoot children so as to be sent home for counselling or "punishment" he wasn't sure which but suspected it was more to do with PR.
I watched the sombre reaction to "One of ours" dying in this so called war, all I could think was "What the fuck do you expect?" -
While you are watching the watchmen the people the watchmen are watching are up to their of false flag operations it seems
Meanwhile, on the Afghanistan front NATO troops are still Killing Civilians
whilst the IMF could be seen to be doing the Right Thing
All the rest is "My Ideology is bigger than yours" and if someone is bored enough to wade through tax returns, I feel sorry for them. -
To me it looks like a Pleasantville/Prisoner mashup, the replacement characters reminiscent of Steptford. A bit slow to start but when the creepy stalker guy got knocked off I shifted to the edge of my seat. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be dream Alec had after falling off the ladder, that would be such a Dallas style let down.

Yeah. But if energy is so restricted that it effectively functions as money, wouldn't electric opening doors be pretty much non-existant?
Ah yes but...
We were told by Bill Birch that our power would get cheaper when it was controlled by private enterprise, we were told we should use less power for the sake of the planet, we are now paying more and using more. It is in the interests of "those that control us" for us to be suckers (also known as "Consumers")
That is just the tip of the "Iceberg". Psst, wanna buy a conspiracy theory?
It's Goldman Sachs I Tell you -
On that note, is there a 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' iPad app? There should be.
Well there is H2G2 (the BBC Hitch Hikers Guide to the galaxy) It may not be an iPad app but it does have "Don't Panic" in large friendly letters on the "cover"

I had a play with an iPad in a shop yesterday. A bit small, if you ask me.
Compared to what? may I ask.

Enough of the blaming, already... Kvetch

Are there any other occupations that become the identifier like that?
Well yes, there are. I, for one, am totally sick of being reminded that John Key is Prime Minister.
And, on a totally unrelated note... Has anyone else noticed how tired Finance Minister Bill English is looking these days?. -
Actually that would be a great band name
I'm sure Dawn Raid would welcome them with open Arms.

They always look like they are having a lot of fun, those fellas.
The Armed Offenders Squad?
