<q>Not equating New Zealanders with sheep, mind.
Heh!
Nah, it's more like recently self-aware sheep, with pointy shark teeth, looking in a different way at the erstwhile snappy dogs- -

And Islander, do try and stay alive.
Well, it's very much better than being dead, so I do try!

ut that’s the whole point of science. You don’t have to trust it; it’s falsifiable. Which is more than you can say for priests, poets and politicians.

Tautoko.
O - but!!
You can always trust poets!

I'd go with that Chris - except it is also USAophile (and I'm not sure we can pop that in under the Anglophile heading...)
Sniffs my kumara & salmon & greenbean chowder and thinks, quit whining little person, go draw a gruesome (or as one of the nevs kindly put it, "gurusome") cartoon-
life is way too short to always feel angry, hurt, hapless & down-

I’ve come to the conclusion that there is an icky-stick-together Pakeha power base*
with an ideology that is basically neo-lib Nat.*** They DO NOT believe in community/selfhelp/protection for workers/social welfare.(Let alone environmental protection. Let alone – waua!- encouragement of The Arts in all their glories!) EVERY time such a government is elected, this shining bright land slithers
back into the kind of shitty society that was established in Canterbury & Wellington in the 1840s- and more of us despair, flee this Aotearoa, give up-***when the mandate for EVERYTHING is money (and other values dont count) a promising civilisation DIES-
(*Yes, there are also problems with a Maori hierarchy that has been corrupted.)

Rampant collective idiocy, unfortunately, is one of our species greatest talents. I reckon those CERN people should be figuring out how to convert human stupidity into a useable form of energy, cos then all our energy worries would be solved for all time.
O dear. You are so right. And I'll just go bash my innate reason & commonsense faculties against that berloody large rock.
Gah! Gah! Gah!

Surely that stream will collapse under rampant collective idiocy?

September (well-kept secret: the first 4 weeks of 'baiting in Big O are generally ratshit....)
I'll be over in Otago at the end of this month, but since I detour through SH 72, dont normally return via CHCH (saves about 3 hours travel time.) -
Hard News: OGB Update, in reply to Lilith __,
Will be returning from Otago later in the month....?
