It was tragic watching the siege of Napier last night.
I t seemed like it was totally unnecessary and that Jan Molenaar had a very loose wig and had needed help for some time. Instead it was allowed to fester till he flipped and a good men lost his life.
Not good.
Thats the KIWI way. Never do anything properly until its too bloody late!
However it must be remembered that in 2009 New Zealand was awash with methamphetamines and synthetic cannabis and urban New Zealand was subjected to the incessant roar of uncontrolled juveniles going round and round in cars with no mufflers.
New Zealand was a bloody MADHOUSE!
Nobody wanted to do anything about that either.
"they are just kids and we must pander to them in case they are traumatised"
yeah right.
It was as if all social controls had been ignored and released and the 'naice' people had retreated into their enclaves and g&t's.
their choice right?
It is never spoken but it cost Labour the election because they wouln't do anything about it!
Music
Once it was a way for the poor people to rise above their circumstances and make a living for themselves.
Now it has become medium for rich kids to show off by buying their five minutes worth of fame.
It cost men at work $US150,000 for their US No 1 hit so Lord knows how much it costs these days and more to the point who pays.
Democracy in America/New Zealand
Alexis de Tocqueville 1835
"when the inhabitant of a democratic country compares himself individually with all those about him, he feels with pride that he is the equal of any one of them: but when he comes to survey the totality of his fellows , and to place himself in contrast to so huge a body, he is instantly overwhelmed by the sense of his own insignificance and weakness. The same quality which renders him independent of each of his fellow-citizens taken severally, exposes him alone and unprotected to the influence of the greater number.
The Public has therefore among a democratic people a singular power of which aristocratic nations could never so much as conceive and idea.; for it does not persuade to certain opinions,but it enforces them, and infuses them into the faculties by a sort of enormous pressure of the minds of all upon the reason of each."

In america/new zealand the majority raises very formidable barriers to the liberty of opinion; within these barriers an author may write whatever he pleases, but he will repent it ifhe ever steps beyond them.
Not that he is exposed to the terrors of an auto-da-fe, but he is tormented by the slights and persecutions of daily obloquy. His political career is closed forever, since he has offended the only authority which is able to promote hsi success. Every sort of compensation, even that of celebrity is refused to him. Before he published his opinions he imagined that the held them in common with many others; but no sooner has he decalred them opnely than he is loudly censured by his overbearing opponents, whilst those who think without haveing the courage to speak, like him, abandon him in silence. He yields at length, oppressed by the daily efforts he has been making, and he subsides into silence, as if he was tormented by remorse for having spoken the truth.

Listened to the talking book of the IceMan Richard Kuklinski yesterday. A long slog but worth it. How the skinny kid got picked on till he could no longer take it and killed his chief tormentor from ambush. Then he grew into a 6' 4" monster and he began to kill for fun.
The Police got him in the end but not till he got over 100.
Grimy!
