East of Eden...
’Wave Goodbye to Higher Taxes,
Not Your Loved Ones"Down here in Chchch, National's
promised 'Brighter Future'
has morphed into the grimmer
'Brighton Future'*Though the locals have a much better plan
than the Council/Govt's lame ideas...*could someone tell John Key there are still people living in much worse conditions and physically unsafe suburbs in Chch East, while he is busily promising the folk of Hobsonville they won't be left behind or uncared for.
(Not to deny those folk need help, my sympathies go out to them all, but just don't believe a word Key says - rely on your local community and people who care.) -

Hard News: Switched on Gardener: to what…, in reply to Russell Brown,
Powerphernalia....
You know what’s highly ironic about that?
Some of the equipment seized in Operation Lime
was later onsold at police auctions.Snap
Maybe those found guilty will only get 'light' sentences?
Preventive policing?It wouldn’t have been so bad if police and
prosecutors had communicated...One imagines that more money and time spent on liaison and education with specific groups, and the community at large, could have an immensely beneficial affect on'offending' and decisions leading to those behaviours, and therefore saving money on policing resources and community impacts.
It has always bugged me that while the State takes the stance that 'ignorance of the law is no defence'. they never actively initiate any meaningful introduction to, or education on, the law or Civics in general.
the things ya see when ya haven't got a gun...
Tangentially: I was appalled to find an A3 glossy christmas catalogue from Gun City in my suburban Shirley letterbox, yesterday... -
Hard News: Looking at Leveson, in reply to Kumara Republic,
Solar max...
As they say, sunlight is the best disinfectant.
And if there’s no sunlight......Cosmic rays, Gamma radiation and
microwaves will do the job...There are even moves afoot to 'zap' all food
to get rid of those pesky (uncopyrightable?) bacteria !
aren't the great food corporations helpful? -
Hard News: The Public Address 2012 Word…, in reply to Danielle,
hear, hear...
“yeahyeahyeah”
+ "Yeah, No"
(phrase of the decade/millennium) -
better work stories...
I think the police have no idea about people just muddling through, we see someone just coping, they want to see some master criminal or conspiracy.
Perhaps vindictiveness replaces their lack of vindication... -
