Only if you have prejudices about which orientation is natural...
Length is always greater than width but has less influence. A natural conundrum?

Exactly, what does she bring to the role apart from a history of bigoted screaming on abuse issues and that she is a poster lady for the nostalgic newstalk generation who pine for a time when you could hit small children and smoke anywhere.
By that token can we expect to see D4J appointed to the family court any time soon?
what has more influence on the area of a rectangle: length or width?"
Simple, its the width.
If a rectangle with the dimension 100x10cm and reduce the length by 1cm the area becomes 990cm2 if you reduce the width by the same amount it becomes 900cm2
Therefore the width has a greater influence. -
So, Craig. Still suffering from that blocked up head full of cotton wool feeling then? Perhaps you should consult a Doctor. Oh, that's right, you don't consider consultation to be important.

What's a crock, Steve, is that Labour may be perfectly entitled to filibuster their arses off (as National and ACT did with the Employment Relations Act) but please spare me the bullshit about the grand triumph of democracy. Where, it seems, making shit up is an essential part of democracy.
Craig's right Madam, Democracy is wasted on the ignorant masses. People like those that live in Epsom have proved beyond any shadow of a doubt that important decisions should not be left to them. They must have all their assets handed over to Rodney and his mates immediately.

What is happening in the house today is a demonstration of just how strong our democracy is. Despite the fact that NACT has a majority in the house does not mean they can "Railroad" through any legislation they chose on a whim, they cannot.
For any that believe that Labour and their allies are "Wasting tax payers money' may I point out that this analysis relies on the misguided belief that this country should be run for the profit of the few and all aspects of governance should adhere to strict accounting principles, this is a crock.The people of the Auckland region are the rightful beneficiaries of the more than 27 billion Dollars in assets. These assets are not the private property of the member for Epsom for him to sell off to his mates, this legislation does just that, it gifts our assets to the asset stripping vultures of the right.
The deal done between ACT and National in Epsom was a blatant rigging of our democracy, it seemed like a good idea to national at the time, I hope now that those in that electorate are now seeing this deal with the devil for what it was, a tragic mistake, as many in the National party must also be seeing.
If I were a resident of Epsom I would be hanging my head in shame at the association with this mean little man and the agenda he stands for.
What is happening in the house today and for the next week if sense does not prevail, lies at the feet of the National party in its mind numbing stupidity and arrogance. The people of Auckland make up one third of the population, to ignore their voice through consultation and submissions is tantamount to a putsch against the people of New Zealand.
Here's hoping that Labour and friends can talk the hind legs off this donkey and than convince it to take a very long walk afterwards, preferably with the rt. Hon. Dr Jekyll on its back.

And I really think that this is all about the future extensions they can put on a surface option, which would be much more difficult with either the tunnels or the cut-and-cover.
That is why I think we should all be fighting for an eight lane each way mega-tunnel with a two hundred foot statue of Helen Clark at one end and an equally gargantuan effigy of Doug Myer Robinson at the other.
To arms people, rise up and be counted...................Martha, get me my gun. -
I don't think I've seen a more cynical Govt. At the time they are putting a candidate up for election they shit on the electorate. How does this work? Could it be that they knew they weren't going to win the seat but wanted to know how far they can push the people before they start losing credibility?.

Lockwood Smith has just denied an urgent debate on the waterview tunnel decision on the grounds that no decision has yet been made. WTF?

I wonder if the Government know how many people in Mt Albert have millitary weapons, oh, that's right, they don't.
