Obviously. Those of us who choose not to use Facebook aren't even allowed to view your post. That's one way to ensure Hypnoflag avoids widespread acceptance.

Interestingly, Hundertwasser intended it to be a secondary flag.
I was privileged enough to be given one of his screen prints. It's showing it's age but I cherish this original dearly. I feel lucky :)

The other thing that TV3 reported last night is that the "Flag Consideration panel" of which was appointed by "a cross Party" group of MP's (who we still don't actually know) had to then submit their final choices to Cabinet to approve. So Cabinet decision for a Cabinet decision. How democratic, not.

Rightly or not, it lessened his credibility with a certain portion of his audience in NZ. And it didn't seem to help Dotcom much anyway.
The machine behind National went into action and denigrated anyone (and still do) who showed up to question the Government and it's seedy invasion of our privacy. Who would have got a better reaction ? Nicky Hager proved it really doesn't matter who you are , just that if you are not "on message" with National there is a powerful influential set that will swiftly use whatever means necessary to hide the truth. I'm thinking along the lines of Luigi Wewege and Bevan Chaung being used to manipulate Politics in Len Brown's case.
I really cannot accept willful ignorance as a measure of the kind of audience one would want to or could educate. Those people are already blind and I really do believe the information Greenwald brought with him was for those mature enough to see through the smokescreen put up. Dotcom is dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn't anyway so why not try. The NZ public may be anti him but it looked like some foreigners weren't. Good on him for trying I say. -

:) I have 2 boxes left. Been here 9 months now. I'm doing well, what with being the Builders Labourer . We are so close to finished, cant wait to rest these ol' bones. I may even get out to look at the scenery and take some photos.

Polity: BURGERGASM, in reply to Russell Brown,
Our Bush Fairy Dairy Food Caravan, (Thurs, Fri, Sat nights) has an extensive range of burgers that are all great munchies. All the mince is organic, free range eggs, organic everything. I get the Tofu blue cheese burger with tomato and beetroot. Yuuummmy!

Capture: Steal Magnolia, in reply to JacksonP,
I think you were away. She finally succumbed to the cancer on her leg but she lasted 8 more months than expected and she made it back North to the Street she was born in and had 4 months racing around enjoying life as she could. 16 years of a good life . She had 5 dogs show up to her funeral with as many adults. She touched peoples lives quickly up here. I'm glad she came home . The Vet said you don't often see a dog get back to the same street and only 700 metres from where she was born. So she lies on the hill up back facing the sunsets forever. This is her possy.
