bullying in New Zealand again...

Great interview with Alan Kurzweil on 9-noon this a.m.
and a neato resolution.
I was bullied at school.
By the son of a Mason.
My Grandfather who was a padre on the western front was a high up Mason.
When he died then the local Masons or one of them at least got his greasy son to bully me at school.
I guess he thought he was the big man now and free from recrimination.
I was big enough to fend off any physical attacks but the little shit then used the old trick of manufacturing lies and isolating me from the groups he formed.
nice guy.
he has parkinsons now and he wants me to feel sorry for him.
well he can just go and get fucked.

its a metaphor for bullying in New Zealand.
the tight underpants brigade think they can get away with anything because of any old reason.
Just like the Credit Union stuck for nearly $200,000 because they thought they could pry into someones life and discredit them just because they could.


Talking of small towns and stupidity then one has to look no further than Carterton.
There is a coterie who think that they know everything and if they vibrate hard hard enough they will get takeoff.
noooooooo.
they will just shake to pieces eventually.
they are too scared and lack any imagination to do anything significant.
in fact basically dog in the mangers.
They remind me of a Jorge Luis Borges story about a gang of beggars who congregated every evening on a large rock just outside the town walls where they sat and moaned and complained.
One day a troop of men turned up and put them off their rock.
then they dug around around it and used their horses to move it and underneath was a treasure trove of  gems and golden bars which they took leaving the beggars to moan even harder.
I suppose the moral is that they should have stopped yapping and started digging.
Jorge Luis Borges

At the moment I am reading a bio of William Wilberforce.
One of those historical figures you learn about in school with a couple of lines.
A full bio is just cool.
Wilberforce not only stood for the abolition of slavery for which he was ultimately successful in introducing legislation but also the factory acts and exploiting child labour in the dark satanic mills of the industrial revolution. 



and Great Doco on the history of the Eagles last night on PrimeTV.
2 hours and another 2 hours next monday!
neat little interview withone of my favourite songwriters John David Souther.
he was the goods.
