I'd watch what you say if I were you mate! Xeby might throw you in a volcano, leaving your soul to hover up into a GIANT SOUL-CATCHER!!! Then he'll inject your soul into a life-form which will result in the negative emotions of subsequent generations of said life-form! It's happened before, it's historical fact!

To quote David Lange, former Prime Minister of New Zealand:
Theatre is very important to the human condition. It is not about reason. It is not about rationality. Politics is irrational. Politics is about human beings with their frailties and perversions and distortions or perception, who prioritise things according to their conviction. I didn't go into Parliament to be fair to my opponents. Quite honestly I went in to jump on their windpipes!
Yes, you are right, collectively we should be ashamed for expecting the government to give us a pat on the back, read us a bedtime story, tell us everything will be OK and ultimately turn into a giant womb for us to crawl into and not think about any responsibilities. Every election year a few weasels pop up with the audacity to weave the false pretence around them that they can actually do these things, and it looks like most of us are entranced by it. As adult human beings, we should be ashamed; but the deceiver is more to blame than the deceived, and not every member of the public is a witting fool.
Too right, we simply don't need any fallacious free-trade agreements. They have nothing to do with trade; the EU was formed under the guise of these trade agreements. We have one with China which could form to such a union, several leaders throughout the last few years have called for an 'asia-pacific' union; this may be the first step.
Just being a member of the WTO meant that our govt was threatened with trade sanctions if we didn't harmonize with codex alimentarius... needless to say our govt bent immediately, and the public doesn't know a damned thing about codex alimentarius. (mandatory viewing material if you don't either)
To cast away all pretentious optimism, I'd wager that it's only a matter of time until we're caged in by some BS law the RIANZ/RIAA etc cook up; section 92A was only one battle here in New Zealand and recent history has shown that these people don't give up easily.
Heh, typical media blowing things out of proportion... Remember the cybercriminal hyperactivities that exploited Obama's victory? I wonder if they've prescribed the cybercriminals Ritalin for their hyperactivities...
SIMULANT LIEUTENANT: You have two Earth minutes before we attack.
RIMMER: Let's get out of here.
CAT: Wait, I know this game. It's called cat and mouse, and there's only
one way to win; don't be the mouse.
LISTER: What are you saying?
CAT: I'm saying, the mouse never wins. Not unless you believe those
lying cartoons. We don't run, we strike. It's the last thing they'll
be expecting.
RIMMER: No, the last thing they'll be expecting is for us to turn into
ice skating mongooses and to dance the Bolero. And your plan makes
about as much sense.
LISTER: I say go with it.
KRYTEN: Agreed.
CAT: You're going to go with one of my plans? Are you nuts? What
happens if we all get killed? I'll never hear the last of it!
On Jan. 21, 2009 â" his first full day in office â" President Obama met privately with the military commanders in charge of Iraq.
...
After the meeting, Obama issued a statement, included below in its entirety:
"This afternoon, I met with our ambassador to Iraq, the commander in Iraq, and the overall theater commander in the region in order to get a full update on the situation in Iraq. Key members of my Cabinet and senior national security officials also participated in this meeting.
"The meeting was productive and I very much appreciated receiving assessments from these experienced and dedicated individuals. During the discussion, I asked the military leadership to engage in additional planning necessary to execute a responsible military drawdown from Iraq.
"In the coming days and weeks, I will also visit the Department of Defense to consult with the Joint Chiefs on these issues, and we will undertake a full review of the situation in Afghanistan in order to develop a comprehensive policy for the entire region."
Promise kept.
Well that's all fine and dandy right? And after he gets the boys out of Iraq he's going to get the boys out of Afghanistan, right?
Reporting from Baghdad and Washington -- The U.S. will reduce its military presence in Iraq by 12,000 troops over the next six months as part of the first major drawdown since President Obama announced his plan to end combat operations in the country next year, U.S. military officials in Baghdad said Sunday. [...]
The plan would reduce U.S. troop strength by nearly 10% just as Iraq is preparing for nationwide elections in the fall -- a step that would have been unthinkable at the height of the insurgency but was endorsed in this case by top U.S. military officials. [...] The plan calls for the number of U.S. brigade combat teams to drop from 14 to 12. Two brigade teams that had been scheduled to redeploy in the next six months will not be replaced. [...]
When the American move is completed, it would reduce the U.S. military presence in Iraq to about 128,000 troops, dipping for the first time below the number of troops in the country before then-President Bush ordered the buildup he referred to as the "surge" in 2007.
The schedule for the withdrawal represents a compromise between the 16-month timetable President Obama had advocated during his election campaign and a 23-month plan that had been pushed by the military.
Under the compromise, all combat forces would be pulled out of Iraq by Aug. 31, 2010, but a residual force of 35,000 to 50,000 troops would remain for training and support missions. The Iraq withdrawals are crucial to the administration's plans to devote more military resources to Afghanistan, as well as to limit spending at a time when the government is facing record deficits. Senior U.S. national security officials are nearing completion of a strategic review of the U.S. mission in Afghanistan, a step that Obama has described as an effort "to stabilize a deteriorating situation," one he has implied was neglected by Bush. [...] Last month, Obama announced plans to send 17,000 additional U.S. soldiers and Marines to Afghanistan -- deployments that would more than offset the troop reductions in Iraq.
Ha, I hear that quite frequently. When you encourage them to examine the vast amount of evidence that points otherwise and the literature of the leaders exposing themselves, it's "But I don't need to because I don't believe in a conspiracy"
Can we look back in four years time and think of George Bush as a benevolent caretaker in light of the atrocities commited by the new administration?
YES WE CAN! --
It's more and more obvious with each news week that all the glitzy promises and election rhetoric that came Barack Obama was a load of meaningless drivel to deceive people - please don't expect things to be better, lest you sink into complacency and don't notice the BS until it's up to your armpits.
Things are changing for sure, but NOT for the better; certainly not at all in the direction the American public was led to believe. The whole election campaign looked very surreal from here in New Zealand - our election was on at the exact same time. The Labour party had about 3 television ads that were seldom played on television. National didn't have any television advertisements. The limits in place in this country to prevent candidates from spending HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in a clear crusade to brainwash the citizens highlighted the ridiculousness of the Obama insanity, while our puppet media sat there telling us more about Obama than about Helen Clark or John Key.
I sympathize with people that gave in to the herd mentality leading up to the election; these people made an absolutely unprecedented effort to deceive everybody with their silly puppets; because the media climate differs here in NZ it wasn't very hard for us to see through... Heck, every time I watch a video of Obama I feel that it's a movie, it just doesn't feel real.
I expect the/. crowd to be hold a degree of discernment an order of magnitude higher than that of the average person, yet I urge you all to avoid groupthink and keep your eyes open:)
So far, it's been delayed from Feb 29 to March 29. (approx) due to the overwhelming controversy surrouding the legislation. It is blatantly clear that the politicians that pushed this bill were simply cracking under pressure from lobby groups; our parliament is a joke, albeit not a very funny one. If it isn't stopped or postponed further then I submit that I won't be posting for a while after some time around March 29:)
Take heed, our small Aotearoa is owned by globalists; they may well seek to implement such policies elsewhere. (see the Opal file and judge for yourselves)
This is terrible news! Who now is brave enough to fight the evil ones! Piracy funds Terrorism!!! Remember how every time you download a torrent you get an email from Al Qaeda saying "Thank you for your kind support"?! What will stop them now?!
Don't go rushing out to be the first in your neighbourhood to own a copy based on this tripe... Best to wait and see how many of these are anti-features:)

Bah, we all know things as they are a very bad, but as this is intentional I can't help but be pessimistic when a goodwill plan such as the Doctorow's is suggested - why would they adopt it?

Peace, from a New Zealander
people> What about the constitution?
govm't> New Zealand has no constitution!
Sadly, thats the bottom line on constitutional disputes here in New Zealand.
Speaking as a New Zealander, I have to warn you: Don't come down here expecting paradise. Our government has taken it away.

For anyone who wants some objectivity (unlikely to include the parent poster) there's always the Obameter
Lets see how the Obameter holds up... heres what it says about Barack Obama Campaign Promise No. 125: Direct military leaders to end war in Iraq
