Good day today.
Went back to the Hutt for a cd I should have bought on Monday.
Pink Floyds Relics.
Nifty little piece of 60's froth.
Before Sid flipped.
Passed on Monday but it kept nagging at me and it breaks the budget but hey since I stopped boozing fagging and chasing wimmin I have a little extra every now and again. hehehehhe.
Also scored Johnny Cashs "My Mothers Hymn Book" second hand but not so much damage to the pocket .
Love that gospel music.
Great to play leads to on my guitar.
Endless fun.
and wait for it.
I asked Rhys Paisley at Liberty Books in Upper Hutt if he had anything by Bruno Bettelheim and blow me down and pick me up he had "The Uses Of Enchantment" which is a wonderful book by a premier psychoanalyst about the importance of fairy tales for children.
all pedagogues should be acquainted with this work.
The basic premise is that fairy tales allow children to be exposed to what might be considered terrifying and horrible situations but in a safe environment where they can figure it out for themselves.
The universality and longevity of fairy tales testifies to their contribution to the rearing of children.
Bettelheim gets a bad rap from the Jungians beacuse he blew the whistle on Jungs peccadilloes and they cant stand stand that.
I must say that when I started my own personal journey into the unconscious my first port of call was one of Jungs weighty tomes that I found to be pretentious obscurantist nonsense.
He deliberately peddled mumbo jumbo in my opinion so that he could always be in control of the situation.
never mind.
The truth will out.
It is a great trip from the Wairarapa to Upper Hutt.
beautiful lush verdant countryside after the recent rains and plenty of crops in the fields.
The corn is as high as an elephants eye.
And it lookd like its reaching right up to the sky!
Fresh water in the mangatarere, the waiohine and teheranikau rivers.
A good flush.
Up the side of the ranges with cool views of Lake Wairarapa, 'the big muddy' and then through the Rimutaka tunnel, out the other side and suddenly into complete urbanisation.
cool.
Got a Dompost to read on the way.
Today it was mainly all substance for a change.
Been a bit of a liteweight two minute silence lately but every now and again its worth it.

Pic of new national party leader Soymin Bridges.
he has a tic. psychoanalysis says that tics are caused by not permitting infants to touch their own bodies from birth till when they are out of nappies.
Under another unconscious presumption that they are masturbating.
When this urge is repressed it can reappear in politicians as a wish to project their own repressed unconscious fantasies of juvenile omnipotence onto the world.
erkkkkkkkk.

Peter Gotzsche of the worlds foremost medical evidence assessment body making the claim that psychiatric drugs dont work.
Also that mental health treatment isnot effective, causes harm and people were often better off or now worse without any medication.
Further when patients withdrew from medical drugs they suffered withdrawal symptoms that were then confused with mental health symptoms.
He said that current systems dont work and might be doing harm with over-diagnosis and over treatment.
He said it is time instead to focus on the known risk factors to mental illness including childhood trauma, alcohol, poverty and poor diet.
Drug treatments need to be better targeted and use minimum doses and people have access to other forms of treatment.

Joe Bennet has roused himself and is getting stuck in.
"Schools are excellent things but they don't form character or create life long learners or any of the other guff to be found in prospectuses or ministry websites.
Lets not pretend they do.
[There you have it kids.
we are being bombarded by bullshit from nitwits.]
and please, keep parents out of schools.
The whole pint of free universal and compulsory education is to give kids the chance to escape from their parents.
GO JOE.
Every teacher and every parent in New Zealand should be made to sit down and read this till the person in charge is satisfied they understand what has been said.

another piece on the legal profession and the revelations about the practises and proclivities of senior members of big law firms including the original culprits Russel McVeagh.
These guys have watched to many episodes of Boston Legal and cant tell the difference between the media and reality anymore.
In other words these doyens and mavens have become infantilised.

last but not least an article on the next big thing in female singer songwriters.
One Courtney Marie Andrews.
Lets hope this songbird is the real deal.
Much as I love the old stuff it is all a long time ago now and long past time for some new blood instead of the whining gamines that inhabit the TV these days.
