The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

Joel was born in The Bronx, New York and raised in the Levittown section of Hicksville, New York. His father, Howard, was born in Germany as the son of German-Jewish merchant and manufacturer Karl Amson Joel who after the advent of the Nazi regime emigrated to Switzerland and later to the United States.

Note that he has a Jewish background. Jewish have been so important in the creative background and mind development of western society. I think it has been the brutal side intrinsic in our atavistic instincts that has smitten non-Jews down the ages and resulted in recurring bigotry and attacks down the ages. Now the predominant feeling is uncertainty and fear about protecting themselves from mercurial turns of mindset going against them. The end result of this discrimination has been for them to be desperate for their own Nation. They have been leaders in the psychological field, trying to cope with their own pain and rage, and they need to listen to their own people eg Noam Chomsky who brings a fine objective study to politics and direction of the contending powers affecting the world as well as Israel.
Given what he has described as his very Jewish upbringing with deeply Zionist activist parents, Chomsky’s views have drawn controversy and criticism. They are rooted in the kibbutzim and socialist binational cooperation.

Billy Joel’s song is one for all of us; could be sung to NZ/AO as the country stumbles in a hopefully forward direction – (with lyrics) from Big Chuck – clever background, looks like floating corpuscles. Seems to go right to the heart of things!

You might not have thought that a department store was such a dynamic place with seething emotions etc. as in the tv series The Paradise. Don’t know if Smith & Caughey had some of that but it would be a mosaic of human life, personalities, and serving the public also setting trends, interesting. So good luck to Smith & Caughey the smaller.

How can a public hospital system go broke? It’s job is to accurately and effectively deliver to needs to a budget and the government cover the costs.
