Funny little world we live in

George Bush over­sees tor­ture and com­mits the “supreme war crime” of aggres­sion, caus­ing suf­fer­ing and death for mil­lions. Gets to go back to his ranch.

One of the vic­tims of these crimes throws a shoe at the per­pet­rator. Gets 3 years in jail.

The Guard­ian did get one thing wrong in their report. Mun­tazar al-Zaidi is not just a hero in the Arab world.

National trying to manufacturer a crisis over ACC

It’s part of the NZ National Party’s DNA to make demo­crat­ic­ally fun­ded ser­vices appear inad­equate, so that people lose faith in such ser­vices and turn to the private sector.

Once sold to the private sec­tor for a pit­tance such ser­vices can then be used to make profits for their sup­port­ers and donors in the private sector.

It’s for this reason that this unscru­pu­lous group of people is try­ing to man­u­fac­turer a crisis over ACC, New Zealand’s very good pub­lic acci­dent com­pens­a­tion scheme.

The same can be said for their nasty little scheme to privat­ise pris­ons and turn NZ into mini dis­func­tion­ing US of A.

So, thanks again to those who voted National (out of a “mood for change”).
