Deconstructing Headlines

Simeon Brown has blood all over his hands.  

It’s just another feel good promise that hasn’t even been implemented while the Government continues to act just as cruelly as the behaviour they are legislating against.

…let’s remember this was a cost cutting measure to try and make  it cheaper, but without a person coming to your door and actually identifying you and prompting you to fill the form in, a lot of NZers didn’t bother.

The real problem for light entertainment current affairs shows like Seven Sharp & The Project is that their low quality prattle can’t give insight or critical debate to fundamental issues like Climate Change or the looming economic depression.

The State is the biggest threat to the people and giving it legal euthanasia would be the most worrying threat to our human rights. This isn’t about the individuals right to end their life, this is about stopping the State from having the right to kill the poorest and weakest amongst us. 

…ECan are scum and they are the enemies of the environment. Surely the time is now for this National Party mutation to be stamped out and the entire fiasco reset so that protecting the environment is the main issue and not giving polluters whatever they want.

It really says something about us as a nation that euthanasia is currently being seriously debated while cannabis reform is not. In New Zealand with a skyrocketing suicide rate, we will allow you to chose to kill yourself if you are in pain, but we won’t allow you to smoke a joint if you are in pain.  

Has anyone asked Clayton Mitchell if ‘Leprechaun Curling’ & underage gambling are NZ Values?

The IPCC is an incredibly conservative body who only publish science that everyone agrees with and this (along with them not including methane release from permafrost and from the ocean floor) has been one of the great criticisms of the panel, so when they come out with a damning report as serious as their latest one, complacency, climate denial and apathy are no longer options.

We are a bitter, petty folk who prefer counter productive policy to success if that success requires kindness and compassion.
