Southerly: A Tale of Two Iceblocks: Part…, in reply to David Haywood,
. Embodied emissions on imports aren’t even considered on other schemes I’ve seen proposed for New Zealand.
Hate to sound snarky but I could guess why at that and be in the ball park.
But dont let me sidetrack you.
You have a great idea, will it reach a wider audience? which it obviously should, no idea. Sorry.
Know you probably prefer discussion on the subject, well, the missed step (part 1) just took my breathe away. Its a global problem its needs a global solution as you say. And we better start … oh well its a bit late… but there’s always, never. Perish the thought.
Just a thought you sell yourself short on your explanation skills, teh technical stuff loses me more, even tho you tried to keep it simple. IYKWIM -
remedy to destigmatizing heroin overdose
As Amberleigh illustrates its not the person using and overusing with tragic consequences, that is the problem.
In this and many other areas its how everyone will view it thru their own personal mental focusing tool or brain (if you like). And some are completely haywire is all I was trying to say, and this will be used to detrimental effect by the unscrupulous.
We’ve all got to put a lot more effort into caring and accepting of others, and that is hard now with so many pressures on everyone. And it all gets to much sometimes.
But enough, this post is in honour of a loving caring brother. Wish we all were thus blessed -
Speaker: The Uncomfortable Silence, in reply to ,
What? Was I off on my own little tangent there?
Ya get that sometimes, sorry
And to Amberleigh -
Until we remove heroin and overdose from the list of dirty words, the problem will never go away.
The problems never going to go away until WE get our noses out of peoples lives and minds, allow for individual differences and choices. But some unspoken adherence to a dead mindset just keeps getting reanimated, usually by those who want to appeal to a mass audience for their own advancement and gain. It used to be religious drones now its political fuckwittery that others people who dont fit an imaginary and restrictive norm.
He lives on in your fond memories, its all he would have asked Im sure. -
Hard News: RNC 2016: A literal shitshow, in reply to Russell Brown,
there’s something very ugly going on here.
Im not sure if the term laissez-faire can be applied to ways we fool ourselves.
But some people seem to think so...aint nothing second guessing them. -
Quicken Loans Shrine
if they win it may become one
Laurie Penny summed it up like this
They ventriloquise the fear of millions into a scream of fire in the crowded theatre of modernity where all the doors are locked, and then they watch the stampede, and they smile for the cameras.
I’ve seen enough. This is an evil place, airless and soullessHow many millions? Not enough to win, just enough to make others wake to the danger. I hope.

Polity: The most important graph in the world, in reply to BenWilson,
I’m not ready to lay down and die, accepting the slide into rising inequality and the violent tumult that it is likely to lead to.
Well us plebs mostly have no choice but to come to some kind of acceptance of the venality of our fellow humans, cause we cant do much else. And that not only thru powerlessness, time often just doesnt allow us such luxury.
It will happen in NZ, But is Labour going to draw the short straw and have to clean up Key&co's mess and get no thanks for it? probably. -
Polity: The most important graph in the world, in reply to BenWilson,
Work is not an end in itself.
In a moneyed global society it shouldnt be, but it is to a lot of people.
nationalism, and it’s corollary, racism.
Hey if you like its a manifestation of discontent. I have lived through these changes and to see what those years have wrought, and its not pretty. On all sides.
There's lessons in there somewhere, but who's in learning mode.There must be another way.
We havent identified the problem yet. Its not just the monetary, work/reward system and how its worked out. The political system is dead from the neck up. So what else is left, you figure it out.

it seemed plausible.
It was spin from the moment it kicked off back in the 80's
Coupled with the continuing gutless attacks on pay and conditions in the so called "first" world. Improving the plight of poor nations was never on the agenda it happened purely by coincidence. -
Politically, it was never part of globalisation’s sales pitch
Really! So the sales pitch was what?
If we take advantage of lower wages and lousy working conditions in the third world and move our factories off shore we can make more money.....(.and improve living in the third world.)
And all you workers in the first world will have to live like people in the third world?No, the reason it happened is callousness and greed. how about, if you participated in the money grab you lose it, all of it.
Now some arseholes are thinking and saying the way forward is automation for everything. Automate yourself's off the planet, morons!
