Frank MacKasy excellent post on the failure of conservative and right wing administrations to cope with the pandemic has been blocked by facebook because it is so good and a must read.

And in the ultimate Dirty Tricks Dept, the Govt is being taken to the High Court, not for an inability to deal with the pandemic, but effectively for their very success in dealing with it. I’m not joking. It’s beyond bizarre.
High Court Case to Determine Legality
Herald on Judicial Review into Legality of Lockdown
Kheala They behaved like a government needs to, using the government powers it has been given – and utilising them to the full to handle a debilitating pandemic both for people and the economy. They shouldn’t do that. The upper class and nouveau riche thought they had left definite instructions that – Nothing was to be done till we call you.

“Do Nothin’ Till You Hear From Me”
Pay no attention to what’s said
Why one should tear the seam of anyone’s dream
Is over my head

Thanks, Grey.
You’re welcome Kheala. And I apologise for sometime in the future when I strongly disagree with you as I might. You care like I do, and when enough people who do care discuss things with vigour, and respect each other also, we as a country will be able to find a better path. See ya again.
Another thing we could, should be doing better. It may be true but hey the world is going down the plughole. Do we have time to have angst about this while we stand with our backs to the wall, and fend off the nasties? It would be good food for the Monty Python’s irony machine. Then again it might be the chaos theory variable that is a breakthrough in the USA. So perhaps don’t down it till you’ve tried it would be the intelligent response!

Dr Herman Pontzer, an anthropologist from Duke University in North Carolina, has spent 20 years studying how our bodies have evolved and how our evolutionary path shapes our lives today.
He told Sunday Morning evidence from industrialised countries, including the United States and New Zealand, showed that spending a lot of time on your bottom while working at a computer or watching TV, for example, resulted in a serious risk of heart disease and other health problems.
Mind you, the people that he studied have little to do with computers and fanciful theories about everything and perhaps it is the hegemony of the tech age and middle class pretensions that do most of the harm. Go study that Dr Pontzer!
Just going over some reply’s from the weekend, it’s become really obvious that TDB has become the place to go to when you fucked up elsewhere and blew it after being taught pure bullshit by retards. We’re like the drug rehab center for The New Zealand Political Community.
