Refusing to take the cure so to speak. Well, I dunno....... must have been that trip to China 30 years ago. <BR/><BR/>But jest aside Trev, I've read sufficient of your responses to fathom something out of it. Superfluous to say........lalalalala don't agree. Hey, that reminds me of "sad!" - 12 times. Blow me down - can you believe that ? Sadly, no, I cannot. I reach for the Prozac as we speak !)<BR/><BR/>Jest aside again, I say sincerely that having fathomed something out of what you say and how you say it, I proffer you your due for principles held dearly. So that's sweet as far as I feel. 'Cos mine are dear to me.<BR/><BR/>Trev, will you allow me one final question ?

Be warned, he hasn't changed his spots ! Brash ? A socialist of old ? Well, yes, and from his own mouth too. Where's your scary "profile" of him Trev ? Oh, Brash has moved away from that you say - according to your own report so seemingly has Rosenberg. So where's the darkness ? <BR/><BR/>Yet more examples: apartheid, the Vietnam War, the Tour, Bastion Point, US interference in sovereign nations, to identify but a few - all of them historical wrongs of gross order, opposition to which history has long since vindicated. But no, not according to you. Those campaigns were sullied by commies like Nga Tamatoa and some essentially powerless unionists (forgive my hooting laughter especially as to Nga Tamatoa). Campaigns which in your book are thus definitionally non-legitimate and outrageous. Be better for humanity that Mandela remain imprisoned on Robbins Island and the nazis like Verwoed et al remain in power would it ? <BR/><BR/>Then there's this problem: in your effective endorsement of the demonstrable cruelties I mention you're a honey pot to a bee. You attract around you racist nutters the likes of Anonymous above with his "maori-lover" comment. Even saw one recently complaining about the "fecundity" of Maori. Now ain't that unbridled naziism ? <BR/><BR/>And poor old Mah whose blithe prescriptions from the lounge room would effect wholesale murder against the "less human" millions of the world. Unhinged stuff really given common, modern day standards.<BR/><BR/>So Trev, in your libertarian fight against totalitarianism you'd be well advised to applaud the resilience of the human spirit rather than downing it. Cruelty, injustice, international avarice and the denial of the most basic human rights are all essentially totalitarian and will always be resisted by victims, thank goodness ! Too facile, intellectually blinkered, even dishonest, to dismiss such resistance as commie inspired; ipso facto beyond the pale. <BR/><BR/>Strange that unwittingly (and it is only that I trust) you give succour to forces reflecting the antithesis of your libertarianism. <BR/><BR/>It's gotta be a matter of this Trev - step away from facile, petty, anachronistic commie calling and vocally dissent racists, fascists and armchair-generals too thick or twisted to entertain a sense of human decency. It's that or be happy with your 2% and falling. <BR/><BR/>Resort to three decades-old copy from The Dominion re some of Wellington's more colourful 70s figures doesn't make significant impact - not in 2007. Especially since George at least probably flies first or business now, by courtesy, get this, of some pretty hard-out international capitalists. Why doesn't George frighten them as he does you I wonder ? <BR/><BR/>What's it all about Trev ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-1172326177177550472007-02-25T03:09:00.000+13:002007-02-25T03:09:00.000+13:00Thanks anon. must confess, I'm a bit of a Maori lo...Thanks anon. must confess, I'm a bit of a Maori lover though-being married to one and all.Trevor Loudonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040453691836232676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-1172311587137508742007-02-24T23:06:00.000+13:002007-02-24T23:06:00.000+13:00Yes Trevor, before your blog turned up I thought M...Yes Trevor, before your blog turned up I thought Minto was solely concerned with apartheid, and outfits like the ALF were only concerned about the chickens, and Greenpeace were all about the environment, drift net fishing and whaling.<BR/><BR/>Nope.
