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.

A $2.3 million white elephant: The curious case of Canoe Racing NZ’s deserted high performance centre
Dana Johannsen, Sports Correspondent
In 2018, Canoe Racing NZ opened the doors to a $2.3 million purpose-built high performance centre on the shore of Lake Karāpiro. Seven years on, it sits empty.
High above the silty shore of Lake Karāpiro, Canoe Racing NZ’s high performance centre looms desolate and lifeless.
The carpark, but for a lone, empty boat trailer, is deserted. The grounds are still.
The building itself, a sprawling 550 square-metre monument to unadorned functionality, is locked up.
Through bird-poo streaked windows there are chairs stacked high in the corner of the lounge, and an empty gym where motivational posters shout into a void.
“It’s pretty farcical, but it’s hardly a surprise that this is where things have ended up,” a Sport NZ source says of the abandoned site. “To me, the whole thing seemed a bit misguided from the start.”…

Note this – perhaps we can learn if we try to. How did we get such goofy people in charge. If going for an ordinary job they wouldn’t get past the bottom desk! Flash – conspiracy theory! Guns! Nothing to see here.

Now, these technologies are being applied in areas such as medicine, agriculture, biotechnology and pest control. As well as new opportunities, they raise profound ethical questions.
Most experts agree new legislation is needed. But some say the Gene Technology Bill ignores proven benefits of incorporating Māori principles and values…
With our ‘ability’ to think our way to Frankenstein developments well I just don’t trust the new religion of money first mixed with freedom of thought and speech mixed with single-minded drive to develop science in new directions that seem to know no limits and no control from religion either traditional or the replacement prosperity-religion businesses and charities..

How great – what an adventure! But it can be replicated without all that travel and cost of climbing boots and beacons in case of getting lost or bad weather, that can be done just by sitting at the computer and learning and communicating on the condition of our nation and our present positions as servile citizens.
To find our way through the barren lands that face us is harder than Everest. After all that has become so well mapped out that ‘they’ queue at the ultimate height of the world, the closest to space we can go on two feet. But to conquer the challenges of our minds – now that is a rare if not impossible achievement. Can someone from the elite do so, a lesser person could be sidelined?
