Obama has already challenged conventional democracy to a point that is historic .I hope he's set a level which is irreversible.

It also goes a long way towards exposing people to 'different' neighbours. We had a large Maori family, two very traditional Indian family and one very modern one, a Chinese Jehovah's Witness family, a group of fairly wealthy Asian students, a middle-aged Pakeha couple...and we all got along well, and got to see a bit of 'other' ways of living.
Good point, we're you living now?

I'm not a huge fan but IMHO over the years Winston seems to have carried a lot of weight with old school National voters even if that doesn't always convert to votes.You know he was a Nat once, a big one.(I know you know)I mean is he a Gerry Brownlee shape , Nick Smithish, Mallard like, Hide(sh)....or worse than all of them?
Winston strikes me as an old school politician who has made a great career by representing the unrepresented. Feel free to pass the education on about him though. I'd like to go into this years election with as much information as possible.

The risk was hidden, he's probably saving for his retirement and his family and every financial advisor in New Zealand tells him he needs investments.. You got to have some sympathies surely. 66 and that happens.

We might be good designers, but we're even better cheaters.
"We're terrible cheaters. Ya know the macbeth thing, it fucks with us."

"as we learn from the accumulated excesses of the accumulated crises."
Wasn't that a Judas Preist lyric? but seriously we should design it, we're pretty good designers.

What's the charges against Winston Craig?
