    They will also almost always switch to victim mode when that happens and act like their human rights are being flouted because someone disagrees with them or makes fun of them. There's little to be done about this.

    With the possible exception of marooning them in Belarus or Myanmar for a few weeks. Then they might get an idea of what a real dictatorship looks like.

    But we knew that. Anti-PC is all about how everyone else gets to be a victim, except put-upon, white male me. What about meeeee?

    Speaking of anti-PC, here's a surprising daisy-cutter from a libertarian viewpoint...

    And if it hasn't been mentioned already, one of the more risible examples of the referendum system was the fact that it blocked women from full voting rights in Switzerland until 1971.

  • Hard News: A Strange Surprise,

    And longtime Dom Post financial commentator Terry Hall gives a moving interview about the often unseen damage done by the finance company failures. One clear point to emerge is that the litigious nature of some of the people involved in that sector has quite effectively blocked and frustrated reporting on their businesses.

    I'm not outraged that they managed to register as a charity, but it would be a farce if they were to retain that status now that it's been brought to the attention of the Commission.
