WHAT CAN THE HARVEST HOPE FOR, IF NOT FOR THE CARE OF THE REAPER MAN?
There was a spring Fairies and Pirates festival for the kids in Ellerslie two weekends ago and the National party were there giving out free balloons to all the kids. It was utterly disgusting.

Good thing I've got enough to drink tonight.

Hahaha I wish we had someone like Gareth Morgan in UK politics:

quote:

I’m incredibly disappointed because, you know, they’re screwing the younger generation, they’re screwing the people who are in poverty.

You bet they [NZ voters] are selfish … By far the biggest driver of the average voter’s decision was completely and utterly self-interest … I’m not very proud of a society that holds that in such high regard.

I’m ashamed of it.
