Hard News: Good Intentions, in reply to Jeremy Eade,
f we want to be serious about looking after young autistic citizens it’s not so much finding jobs for them in the long run but giving them channels for an invigorating teen education.
Now, if only there'd a programme back in the 1960s for young highly-visually-disabled people -who also happened to be very good with words - I might've not wound up a failed law student - but a really good tobacco picker (temporarily-)
-well, I did all 3. Hard.

Up Front: Let's Talk About Sex, Baby, in reply to linger,
Any other sex? Not mentioned, therefore not endorsed
Or blessed in any religious way.
If you are not productive, you’re doomed (sorry, us asex people. Sorry, people who engage in non-productive sex of any kind. And, there is *quite* a lot of that!)Cant we just shuck off fucking religion of any kind?
Our species didnt claw & hack & axe our way to the top of the hominid pile by being ‘religious’ – we did it through a very specific drive- which the power thereof can be diverted into many other activities-

Rosie’s afternoon haul: 250 grammes of bianchetto truffle. Some is not saleable, but the vast majority will go at $3/g.
Cheers, Rosie!
How excellent to know Southern truffieres are coming into their own!
Well done! That man, that dog! -
Hard News: Judge Harvey: My part in his downfall, in reply to Pete Sime,
Standing down was an act of remarkable integrity to maintain faith in New Zealand’s justice system.
It was remarkable when contrasted with the acts of politicians, some of whom totally lack integrity - but he behaved in the best traditions of our judiciary (and indeed, the fount from which our judicial sytem sprang.)
I am now rarely proud of being an ANZer: everything seems so grubbed over with just one standard - whaddya worth? And if you arnt wealthy & you dont provide wealth (in the only - monetary- sense it is now understood) - you aint worth anything, mate...Judge Harvey has given me renewed hope that ANZers
can still stand proud- -

Up Front: You're Telling My Child What, Now?, in reply to linger,
Kia ora linger - it was the word 'now'.
Ben thoughtfully or otherwise used the word 'now' which implied/implies to me he thinks it is a new happening.
I pointed out - it sure as shit isnt.
I thank you for your thoughtful ajudication BUT stand by my comments.
Ideally, the world(human) would be different: actually, the world (human) continueth on it's own nasty way. And basically, not a lot changes- -
