midnight jobs and nightmoves....

grey day today.
went up to town.
light drizzle and the river was down.
on the way back the clouds were threatening and the river had colour and was rising.
found a VHS of 'Rollerball'.
I'm not sure which came first.  Rolerball or the Running Man with Arnie but both are 5* jobs.
Great movie with James Caan in the lead where the world is run by executives.
something like the takeover by the engineers in Thorstein Veblens Theory Of Business Enterprise.
Malevolent and all powerful.
You cant beat em.
Just like now?
hehehehe.
With the requisite fixers and kiss asses.
hmmmm.
anyway when I woke up this morning someone had done the midnight job and moved the park benches back off the footpath.
wonder who.
See around here if you tell someone something to their face they just tell you to fuck off but if you catch them in the headlights and show and tell then they slink around and try and pretend it never happened.
?????????
See if they have the JOB then they know everything and what they dont know doesn't matter.
yeah right.
More secret squirell stuff but large story in the 2minsilence about 'Sustainable Wairarapa' lobby group.
no names though.
They must be scared of a shitstorm if they tell the truth too.
However they make the points that,
1, wairarapa rates will have to go up $450 per rating unit on average,
2, wairarapa is already one of the highest rated districts in New Zealand
3, that the area is rapidly filling up with old aged pensioners on fixed incomes and low skilled workers.
I guess that s why the CDC have wasted a colossal amount of dough on unnecessary buildings and cosmetic bullshit.
Now all the insecure locals can go round saying, "we're not hicks now".
well only  ahick thinks that building a monstrosity  and fixing something that aint broke is goo d business.
I dont feel proud at all.
I just feel completely bewildered about how supposedly intelligent people let themselves be deluded that by trying to make the town look like like something out of a new bathroom catalogue has done anything for the town at all.
The rest of the Wairarapa thinks it is a big joke and those who stopped to use the pissoir in holloway road are really pissed off.
You know the whole country is on the wonk.
Anyone familiar with Philosophy 101 will know the argument attributed to David HUme that what we call cause and effect is merely a psychological case of constant conjunction.
What has happened now is that peiople in New Zealand cannot tell the difference between real life and being on tevee.
Its all the same to the hicks. Especially the ones that have been to makk peekoo and thinkthat they have really done something.
nah.
just been for a few plane rides and stayed in some expensive hotels.
In the meantime the madness goes on.....
