OnPoint: Other People's Wars, in reply to Hilary Stace,
I hope this helps NZ get out of this current US war mess and makes us wary of being involved in the future
But who's going to make that happen?

There are systemic factors that militate against breastfeeding (as listed in your post), and yet pressure is put on individual women to provide the fix.
Quite. Fundamental attribution error is just easier for the intellectually lazy. This government loves it (see welfare 'dependency', disability services, etc).

conform to a particular model
"normal" is seldom a helpful part of the medical model

The PM, by comparison; his handwaving and 'relaxed' attitude to the whole thing is both disappointing and entirely in character.
His smarmy slighting of Hagar's character in passing was exactly what you'd expect from the morally challenged too.

I prefer the documentary
Didn't see the whole thing but the footage of Key meeting Brethren and Brash flat out lying about it all was compelling. But the book conveys so well the calculated approach to deceiving the public from political operators and shady funders who have escaped unpunished and might well still be doing exactly the same thing.

The Hollow Men is still on two hour loan at the Health Sciences library as required reading. It has hardly faded in relevance
I believe someone commented recently that it's still the best guide to this year's election. :)
