McVicar really is from the Seniel Sentences Trust.
I can't quite understand how he can maitain such bitterness and loathing for others.
Does he have a hard done-by story?
His identifying with the guy who stabbed the youth, is it age, race, class?
Is he finding an acceptable outlet for racism like Greg O'Connor does?

The perverse limitations of these types of calculations hold a family on the East Coast or Northland living in shacks and caravans to be on a par with the mansion in Remuera, if it's paid off.
Or that the indebted rich are worse off than the above mentioned family.
Do the averages count the Prison pop as well?
What Mike Graham said.
And Keith haven't I heard that before ...
"You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run..." -
So Dawkins attributes meme to hmself, well who else would he attribute it to?
I preffer my own interpretation of meme as the transliteration of the maori mimi.
It works with added inflection.

None of that oil is for 'us', it's all for America or China.
Where 'Free Markets' exist, China & America will use the tyrrany of the Totalitariam Market to take what is 'ours'.
For those who don't observe the the markets they will have their assests stripped from them like Iraq has.This all ignores climate change & as long as we're putting our heads in the sand. How about Southland Coal gets in a partnership with SASOL and we produce our own petrol from coal?
Hopefully the price of domestic coal will rise to the point that renewables like wind enegry become finacially viable.
A little dispair passed over me as I had a wee read of NZ Wind Energy Conf. 2007. It amented NIMBY, lack of incentives, and No real "doer" mentality ... producing reports and consultation.
The answer to NIMBY is consultation,and a 'doer' mentality is what? A bulldozer and a blank govt cheque.

Went to C1 yesterday for coffee - fantastic.
Funky and comortable old movie seats at the table and great muffins.
They actually bet me to my seat with my coffee & heated muffin.

Andrew _ I thought it was part of the right of passage that the next phone call, after Mum, was to the Koru Club to change the title.
Emma - Glad to hear she hasn't changed.
-
So I'm a Dr in Italy - cool.
Of Course their is the Dr & my fave the Master:
-
Emma - I don't know her 1st name but Mrs Hundleby was at Riccarton Primary.
-
As a kiddy I had the wonderful Mrs Hundleby (not sure of spelling).
Sometimes kiddies get confused and so I had called her, Mrs Bumblebee, Mrs Butterfly, & to my great embarrassment, Mum. -
I don't think Dr would be used for expert witnesses but rather stating that they have a PhD, its field and their experiance in that field.
