Hard News: NZ On Air and the bill that…, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
warning: Link contains Mike
I did not heed the warning. That is depressing reading. He cast's himself as some kind of eternal optimist in a world of snobs and elitist lefties. And does it all in a sneering tone the irony of which, would be totally lost on him it seems.
He cant sink to new low's in the realm of self delusion because they have all been laid bare, for all to see, by the Prez of the USA.
I dont want to draw to much inference from that, but such delusion seems to be clustered mainly in one demographic of the global population.Russell's well reasoned blog I'm certain will, in Hoskings case, fall on deaf ears

Hard News: On joining the international…, in reply to Dennis Frank,
I’ve often pondered the continual failure to include ethics & morality in our educational curricula
You can teach morals all day long, getting people to live up to them is always going to be the hard part and not just the average bloke on the street. It seems to get harder when a person is supposed to adopt a corporate code when at their place of employment. Yes I'm saying a job can turn some into a ethical deviant.
Its not hard to fin d examples at present. -

But we can’t blame folks for personal inadequacies.
Apportioning blame Really! Democracy as a system was supposed to be designed to iron out the worst excesses of separate groupings of people.Which might happen if we were all an informed citzenry, making decisions for the greater good. We are far from that.
And it might help if people were able to identify their inadequacies, and kept their worst excesses in check, which most wont or cant.Brash is
a typical produce of his cultural niche, not a racist.
Product or not questionable views are still questionable no matter what garb they dress up in.

they werent that poster's personal opinions.
It was a polemic from a school principal who hasnt read the legislation and had a knee jerk reaction which he put into words and foisted on the school newsletter spreading misinformation further using emotional blackmail disguised as an alternative viewpoint.

Wonder if he was having a chardonnay while writing this polemic.
I hear it lubricates the juices... with irrationality -
operate his business in the objectionable and exploitative manner
He's more than likely pissed he cant keep doing that. Such people like to see conspiracies working against them. And he does have form seeing false positives.
