Very cold and wet today.
gales and rain sweeping out of the southern ocean.
today at 2:51pm there is not even a quiver out of my solar powered daisy!
wah wah wah.
Last night was absolutely beautiful.
Woke up about 2am and the sky was ablaze with astral glory.
Just the sort of night and light when one should sneak into the Botanical Gardens in Wellington and lie under the huge Lebanese Cedar there, toke up and image oneself ot be in the holy land and waiting fora miracle BC before all the pipsqueak potentates cut down all the trees.
hehehehehehehehe.
Whenever I get a premonition to visit the Warehouse I always act on it.
don't ask me why but their music and DVD systems are pretty haphazard and finding anything alphabetically is a bit of a challenge but that makes the game worthwhile.
But today I went down to the music section looking for anything and did a 180 and there was "STAR TREK IV, The Voyage Home which in my opinion is the best movie ever made full stop.
apart from it being derived from the teavy series if fulfills every other requirement for a great movie and then transcends them all into a wonderful spectacle of the movie makers art.
and the story is still pertinent if not more so.

Socialism?
Karl Dufresene in the Dompost got stuck in this morning about what is a socialist. Its not exactly an either or question as every economy must be a mixture of state activity and private.
Both have their own areas of expertise and delivery of quality goods and services.
Getting back to the ideology most socialists of my vintage are from the new left that arose in the 60's out of the old left or the remains of the communist party who believe like other nitwits that communism is scientifically provable.
hahahahahahahahahaha.
anyway the texts were Ten Days That Shook The World by John Reed and the collected works of one V.I. Lenin who not coincidentally trained as a schoolteacher.
In an aside Joe Stalin trained a s a seminarian and then graduated to bank robbery.
ho hum.
Modern leftism along with many other things died with the advent of the PC and the spreadsheet and the ability of accountants to quantify almost everything.
Whether they are right or wrong is another matter and it is no secret that modern capitalism is going to kill of the species if it gets the chance and that will have nothing to do whatsoever with any ism.
Here in New Zealand socialism has become a wet blanket.
David Shearer lost the leadership of the New Zealand Labour Party when he suggested going after dole bludgers in South Auckland.
And the New Zealand Labour Party has shot itself in the foot again by handing over its most precious resource namely "The Standard" masthead to a post modern computer programmer who fancies himself as a journalist but in actuality is just a twerp with no grasp on working people or their concerns whatsoever.
Now it is just a hangout for trolls, maladjusted stirrers and the twenty% who are against everything.
If you speak up then you are out.
What a joke.
Getting back to Karl Dufresnes trope the Labour Party has become what the trotskyites would call a party of careerists and revisionists.
ya get that on the big jobs I suppose.
They want money and cars and expensive trips to luxury hotels on the other side of the world like every other noo noo headed nitwit.
plus they are unlettered, unlearned philistines to boot.
here for the zoobies.
something to read besides the ads outside banks for mortgage rates.
