    When the Honourable Mr Hyde
    Decided Auckland ought to be tied
    He rushed out a horrible bill
    So the local councils would chill
    Spending their savings denied

    well every time I bring up the issue with green party members I get shut out - even by people who are good friends - I advocate a point in the middle ground that's still very very close to the green side of things

    sigh - one can be in favour of careful, responsible research in GE with enormous safeguards and still be against things like round-up-ready things and their ilk

    BT's an interesting case - it's 'natural' to the extent that organic farmers can use it ... so now people are GEing it into crops - a mistake IMHO because the bugs will evolve and the organic farmers will be worse off.

    I think there are lot of people who are against a lot of GE-in-practice but are not religiously against GE by itself - and we feel shut out of the Greens

    Eddie/Giovanni/Kyle: me too I probably would join too if it weren't for the GE thing - I'm all for holding people who are doing GE's feet to the fire and making them being extra careful and do the right thing - but an outright ban seems silly to me

    The "890Mb pdf" actually does contain the maps you want and isn't really that big

    I believe beer and peanuts are also traditional - don't forget to offer some to the guys in the hard hats

    Act is pretty small - a putsch might be as simple as actually showing up to the AGM with 100 others and voting Hide et al out

    Harking back to waaaaaay up thread - thanks for the invitations to Blenheim and Warkworth, but I think I'll have to stay in Mt Albert. I've never had the opportunity to lie down in front of a bulldozer before...

    don't forget your towel ....

    but he's not the 'loveable innocent' he seems to be running a bunch of (ASB related) scams on the side without his boss's knowledge (his bagel business for example ....)
