Observations on sin
I've observed a pattern in regards to sin (i.e. doing something wrong) and it's consequences. There's always a starting point; a clearly identifiable time and place in ones' life when it started. more

The Other Worlds
The other day while travelling somewhere in the car I asked a guy who works for me up here if had any understanding of the Global Economy. I may as well have been speaking Swahili! more

Brendan Battles spamming again
This is sad. I have this morning received a series of spam emails from Brendan Battles*, one of which is even addressed to himself! Someone really ought to stop this guy - if nothing other than for his own sake. more

Real power is not 87.4%
It was Sue Bradford's last day in parliament today. She'll always be remembered for S59. A recent referendum in New Zealand returned a whopping 87.4% vote in favour of decriminalising smacking. The Prime Minister John Key ignored the result - worse than that, he actually determined before the vote results were in, that he wouldn't change the law.

Samoa after the Tsunami
Samoa is a land of contrasts: the haves (people in positions of influence) and the have nots, Tsunami victims and those who escaped what they call locally "The Wave". It has devastated their tourism industry but after falling in love with them following a recent holiday there, I have a vision for this tiny South Pacific nation. more
