We could always train our car drivers better

To be fair, we're harsher than her audience

What I saw in the raw footage linked above was Norman "advancing" only to get out from behind the people trying to block him in. Do wonder what might have happened if he had stood still.
You'd think if the Chinese security were working properly with the local DPS, that they would all have been informed who Norman was and what he was likely to do. Presumably he followed protocol and registered his intent to protest with the Speaker's office?

It's not necessarily a minority opinion that Norman "went too far". Says something of our national expectations about hopsitality and the shape of legitimate resistance.

I should clarify it's the separate-ness I'm grateful for

Having revisited the loathesome Whedon-hating drivel, can I say how grateful I am for lesbian separatism.

Thanks, Ben.
We know we want the bigger yields
Bias towards growth. Ever model any static environments where conserving total energy/resource was the goal?

Seth African living in Christchurch imports pesky horns to sell on TradeMe. Thanks a bunch, buddy.
Pullock, who lives in Burnside, also brought vuvuzelas to Christchurch in 2006.
"I tried to sell them on Trade Me, but no-one wanted them. I wanted to change the support in AMI stadium," he said.
However, the recent publicity has meant the horns are now in demand.
...Major sports venues around the globe are trying to make sure vuvuzelas don't catch on beyond South Africa.

"At the end of the day we will need to reflect on that situation and I guess in future ensure that both the New Zealander's right to express their view and protest is preserved but the dignitary involved doesn't feel their safety and security is compromised," he said.
It's only Chinese pride that was being compromised. You don't deploy an *umbrella* on a genuine security threat, do you?

Oh, but we're very relaxed about it - and the press coverage continues to talk about it as if Norman initiated the "scuffle" and boldly thrust his hand under the boots of Chinese security. Apparently video footage is "insufficient evidence" for the police these days - bit of a waste of time installing all those CCTV cameras then.
