    Sorry it always happens to me when I read dark backgrounds with white type, but I have only 6 post left to me, am fading fast, think the atomization of the individual, own theories, hyper-noid phase has kicked in, Smiths Dream is on Maori TV, partner had never heard of it, was accidently held on a commune in Coro while filming, need to feel versus necessity to think...peots who must work in offices, paranoid Rimbaud death complex, University presses distain twisted messages, Hunter S betrayed me....arggggggg, I want more life!

    BN = Before Nomads, there were Treks.
    Emma, you reacted against the feminie (no cross bar!) Raleigh 20 with counter overtones of Chopper envy, ergo...you find yourself in Christchurch, land of the Solex.

    OK I scanned it, it has mixed up the market vs. the political model and could only have come from a confused academic. The market is not about producing products and taking them to market any more (for China yes, USA no). The market is to create money through mortgages and loans and then steal the oil with a private army, much abridged of course.
    NZ just simply doesn't understand this, we are hobbits, in Hobbiton before the ring thing. Production and advertising are just too expensive. Advertising is now done by the State using taxpayer money to promote ideology (our stories!). The whole interest rates dialog (!) is really about pushing meme's so people feel part of a fabricated society (ref any Sci-fi). See it is all really an illusion, society doesn't exist, the individual does but as long as you keep the herd watching the lions it's never going to evolve past The Gun. Universities are trapped in this and our own Mr Hood who went to Oxford got pilloried for applying his market model to that ancient place of learning, degrees have become Products, for sale on the global market, hell you could all do it yourselves with Wikipedia and that 30k loan is not going to get you a high paying job, no way. Meanwhile illiteracy rates sky-rocket and Primary schools make cakes for funds.
    There is a plan and it's not pretty, but to activate it, advertising was killed off and the talent(!) moved elsewhere.
    Enough or too much! Blake.

    I'm going to read that, but first,
    1. advertising used to be the only way you could pay and be sure you got your message across, think about it, this is far reaching and would need a face to face explanation (and include pamphleteering, sic).
    2. advertising is very regulated, so you can't just say any old thing at all, except..
    3...social marketing and govt. controlled monopolies mean that the largest ad spend in NZ is by the govt. Think about that, it is far reaching.
    Now I will read said article.

    Ways to make yourself feel real rich. I was told this by a real pro. Withdraw, borrow, purloin 800.00 cash, it must be 800.00 cash, in 50's and 20's. Pocket that wad, no purses wallets or nothing, a good goombah wad, rolled one, back pocket stuff. Go out, leave round 10.00am, go for breakfast, buy the biggie breakfast, buy a 50.00 mag to read while you eat, you'll need the fortification, tip the cook 20.00.
    Now, go out there and spend that whole wad on whatever, you're not allowed to think for more than an orange light, burn the whole lot, you have to 12.00 midnight.
    You will find out exactly who you are in less than a day.
