It got some attention back then, but I am a lot older now!

I will be at Waihopai as I have a number of times in the past. No one yet has come up with a better solution and at least this keeps it on the radar. I do not believe for one moment protests will ever be past their use by date these are used in other countries all the time. One of the problems I think is the numbers that actually attend, the biggest demonstrations in Aotearoa have been the Springbok tour ones followed by Nuclear Free and GE Free demos. The bigger the numbers who get out of their seats and take part the more likely we have of making change. The town hall meeting at the last election was hijacked, partly because Dotcom did not release the information which he said he was going to and because that is all the MSM focussed on. Not the stunning stuff from Snowdon and Asange. To suggest that we have constructive dialogue is to me laughable. In the case of Waihopai who do you suggest we talk to? Successive governments have colluded as per usual with the U.S.A. That is not about to happen without a complete change from capitalism as we know it.
