not much to report to day.
last night it blew like a thousand furies.
huffed and puffed.
this morning I am in Greytown using the free wi-fi.
Every time there is a blip in my security it seems as if whole albums get wiped out of my music library.
Then I have to delete the shells out of windows and re-rip them.
its painful but necessary.
last ones to go were a double Ike & Tina Turner set from Prism Leisure and another double "THEM" set from Deram. I thought I had actually lost the hard copy but no I found it yesterday.
By the way the "Universal Masters" collection has a stand out set of Ike Turner showcasing his immaculate blues playing in all keys and permutations.
Plus a Warehouse special Carter Family compilation that was only $2.99 when I got it a while back but it has all the good ones on it so you don't have to go fiddling and fartassing around to get all the good songs on the playlist.
I listened to Kathryn Ryan this morning on Radio New Zealand talking about how pacific island and Maori students take much longer to pay off their student loans from University.
I was there in the 90's and it was the time when the Business Round Table had someone on the University Council who was going through all the ancillary business' and selling them off to his mates. Winz was busy sending people with intellectual difficulties and from the long term unemployed up to the university to enrol and the place was a fucking shambles. IN the background were the right wing commentators babbling a torrent of bullshit about how this was life as it was supposed to be according to Milton Friedman and doing their best to gum up the whole works in a miasma of bullshit and confusion.
They are trying to have another go right NOW!
New Zealanders know all the right words and the jargon but when push comes to shove they cant actually do anything but make a proper fucking mess!
That sounds tragic but its true.
The place is filled with mouth all mightys'.
Exactly the same patten now as the National government seeks to introduce charter schools which have absolutely nothing to do with education but everything to do with people with no qualifications but clout on the system to produce wages and salaries for themselves.
This another sorry tragic mess that the next government will have to reverse to restore sanity to a system that is being threatened with total infantilism.
New Zealand once gain reveals itself to be childish and spineless when it comes to doing the right thing.
