Strange lack of logic!

Onya,son,your legacy is assured and your courage worshipped.<br /><br />On other blogs they've yet to grasp the fact that Labour is defined by the media: they're dividing, and the NATsies are still conquering. Winnie's providing rating-entertainment, but they'll stab him again at the drop of a hat.<br /><br />Just back from China, and oh boy what a contrast.<br /><br />Where once was promise, now a fetid farce in chains; once-beloved green isles of hope, now dark wells of sullen compliance: morbid extras, raped and debased by a greedy few.<br /><br />They won't answer your call Chris. Our canny mokos are wisely voting with their feet, the ScumNATs relentlessly assaulting the rest. <br /><br />Here's a go. Maori genetics originated in China. Sell the fucking lot tomorrow and welcome a bullet in the back of the head to the stinking shit knights of the fucking business round table who stole our land, poisoned our heritage, and gang-raped our future. <br /><br />Zai jian. Thanks for the memories kiwis, but Socialism calls: screaming with life-affirming vigour from every teeming street corner and every overloaded nicotine-fueled 12-year-old 750cc motorcycle rider who smiles at random dopey white ocotogenians for no other reason than ingrained, socialised respect.<br /><br />The scum have won. But not for long.<br /><br />akAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-3630286307505953632012-03-09T14:15:52.378+13:002012-03-09T14:15:52.378+13:00If recent history is anything to go by then the go...If recent history is anything to go by then the govt would ignore the referendum anyway. Labour didnt care about referendums and i doubt national will bother either, key's statements lead me to think they will ignore it anyhow. Only the protests will work and best of luck with that.madisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-42548404537834486282012-03-09T12:06:55.259+13:002012-03-09T12:06:55.259+13:00Hi,

I find them intellectually stimulating, erudite, well considered and extremely interesting.<br /><br />I particularly enjoyed a recent column in Tuesday March 6 edition of The Press on Marcuse and the one-dimensional man.<br /><br />Sociological research is periodically published which claims that money and things do not make people happy yet, as a society, we persist in the idea of economic growth being a constant and are constantly assailed by ads urging us to acquire more and more things.<br /><br />I don't claim to have the answers, but it is patently obvious we need to change the way we run the world and society.<br /><br />I love the Native American idea that humans are part of the great web of life which includes all creatures, plants and natural features. We are neither the master of all nor the servant, but as a supposedly advanced species surely we have a duty to be careful stewards of the natural environment? Our very survival depends on sustainability not excessive consumption.<br /><br />Thank you for your weekly contribution to intellectual debate. Keep up the great work!Ben Hurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367615722744097913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-2898091286886200532012-03-09T10:12:44.409+13:002012-03-09T10:12:44.409+13:00Inspired by this article in my paper this morning,...Inspired by this article in my paper this morning, I went to the Labour website and selected Stop Asset Sales from the issues listed. This webpage contained two links: "Click here to sign the petition" and "Add your name to our Stop Asset Sales petition". They both led to "The requested page could not be found" as they referred to events last May.<br />There was nothing about the proposed CIR. Pretty slack, but also what I have come to expect from Labour these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-6652175023935075442012-03-09T09:43:38.135+13:002012-03-09T09:43:38.135+13:00I hold the Benn quote dear.I hold the Benn quote dear.Robert Winterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747910822318229159noreply@blogger.com
