Safe to say that's downright dishonest and hardly accidental. Who's writing the letter to the editor?
I nominate you Sacha. Your country needs you!

We don't get to choose. My Mother is half Irish. That's my excuse and I stick with that. It helps often. :)

And your description of your Mum pretty much sums up mine.
She's neither sweet nor lovely, nor made of any sort of win. She's abrasive, critical, rude, sarcastic, and utterly unconscionable.
Yep, that's mine too. :)

My mother is a one off. She's neither sweet nor lovely, nor made of any sort of win.
She had you, which is a win in my book. :)

and yet busts are so infrequent.....
These new laws have made way to grab the gangs assets, so that could be the next move for the police plus undercover do try to infiltrate them. The gangs aren't stupid, which, let's face it, is often the people that the police tend to get. They seem to target easy busts first, then hope for informants to give up a big fish to save their own arse, and gangs don't do that.They wouldn't cross their brotherhood (hell, they go to jail for eah other)and now it's been said that gangs are working together as one organisation which is just a natural progression of big business.I'd ask Pita Sharples. He seems to have a raport with the Black Power. He has had them into Parliament, in the House even.

so lots of gang members will suddenly go out and get regular jobs instead of selling drugs?
Gangs will always do what they do,(basically we get over it and let the police deal with it ) but if one was allowed to grow a plant and not rely on a supply from outside forces, then the market will reduce.Gang members do go out to work legitimate jobs and even Councils( iirc Kawerau) have employed them in force when work is available, especially in construction. This initiative is to help from returning to the same ol', same ol' once they return into the community from jail which most of them do, remember.If the weed could be decriminalised, many of the issues( including wasting our money on this destruction of legitimate businesses) that stem from it including value would become minimal, then funding could be directed at education and rehabillitation, rather than more police, more prisons.It's plain logic. Can't disagree until you try it.

so 50,000 is stunning.
Yep, ARE YA STUNNED YET GERRY BROWNLEE? :)

That pic on the Ars Technica site just looks like a hot tattoo to me. :)

The Auckland March Against Mining is HUGE.
Did you spot the image of marchers along Q St right outside the Surf shop. I thought BIllabong across the front was a great protest all in itself :)
So pleased Auckland has come out to tell this Government where to get off. Now we just need the same for this Council business. -
And, here, perhaps a timely reminder of when drilling goes
wrong.
