  • Speaker: Towards a realistic drug policy,

    Codeine, paracetamol and aspirin?

    To reduce ability to get these will just move Pharmacies back into the category of "places to rob" much like they were way back in the day, for those that require them for baking. Aspirin restriction, is particularly harsh for many using that drug as a means to thin blood, prevent heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, as well as helping pain, reducing fever, and then the anti-inflammatory benefits.
    So maybe this commitee for solving all NZ drug problems at once when "P" was the origin of it's set up, might save us all?
    Yeah righto.

  • Speaker: The Architecture of Elsewhere,

    I've become really disturbed at how many new houses are built in the style of 1930s state houses.

    I'll blame the bean counters for that too.

  • Hard News: You've got to listen to the music,

    Dizzee Rascal was my highlight

    A couple of friends thought Batacuda Sound Machine were impressive also.

    But yeah, far from the best BDO musically

    Let's hope that leads the way for something fantastic next year. Glad you survived RB, what would we do without you :)

  • OnPoint: Google to Embargo China,

    Telling and relevant info Simon.

    Yeah ta.Y'know with our protesting consisting of a bunch anti one person playing Tennis, and basically no Parliament, all still on holiday, stark reminder to me,I don't want private prisons. We are still relatively lucky with ours. I have been in several of them and from a visitors pov, none of the presssure that US ones have. Met a man who had done time in the Mid-West US and heavy expectation to be part of a group of inmates, the heirachy of inmates and distance of family and for relatively small offences(and I imagine moreso with 3 strikes.) Sad(istic almost).
    Then we got NZ prisons, first problem will be double bunking,I really believe one needs some time alone, double bunking halves all personal space, not just one extra bed, it's one extra life. 2 lots of shit to deal with and these people already can't deal with their own first time round. So anyway, bean counters are not going to fix the system, but they only need to count beans so...+ news will only show the front gate of them anyway if anything goes on, and if NZ goes private, we can hold them accountable,wha' ? More bean counters? Well point is, are our prisons really any better? How do we know? Who told you? As you were.

  • Cracker: The Best Blogs of 2009 I Never…,

    That Damian and subsequent posters, is delightful. Makes me proud to be in Auckland, and after "The Summer Tour Back Benches viewed last night, beats Tauranga any day of the week, rain or shine. :)

  • Speaker: Towards a realistic drug policy,

    Don't know about that,

    The "Reserve Bank Annual 2010." would be of help there. A must read.

  • Speaker: Towards a realistic drug policy,

    Oh spare it!

    Sweet, each to, but by saying "wont somebody please think of the children" which da is obvious to most and belittling ( utopian paradise)what some may find isn't very helpful either. IMHO and from experience .

  • Speaker: Towards a realistic drug policy,

    Irrational old naysayers like Dunne will die eventually.

    We could get Dr Haywood onto him ;)
    I'd mention Anderton as well. Because it personally effected his family, he finds it very hard to accept law reform.
