Up Front: Choice, Bro, in reply to JacksonP,
I remember waaay before that...when spousal abuse aka 'domestic violence' was ignored by the police (forget about kids - that was just normal discipline) and hunting homos was regarded as a good sport by clean white straight male pub-denizens....
Things have actually changed for the better good people (and will change even betterer apopo!)

One herbal I do have which is rather special is Murdoch Riley’s “Maori Healing and Herbal” – a wonderful tome with no end of odd and unexpected sto
It's also pretty accurate- Murdoch is one of the unsung heroes of 'amateur' ethnobiology/botany& bird lore-

As someone who has at least a couple of thousand CDs (backed up on several devices) and who has *never* bought anything from iTunes, I am wondering what the fuss is about?

t was interesting to note that she felt marriage and adoption being granted to all couples in NZ would only benefit many children needing a loving home
The coupling of ‘marriage’ and ‘adoption’ “to all couples” is to be regretted: there is already provision within ANZ law for a single person to adopt a child/children, with quite stringent provisions (including age & sex of both adopter & adoptee.) I am concerned that the fact that families can & do adopt people is kinda ignored: also the absolute fact that _families_ raise children other than those born & bred in the whanau is also ignored…
