Bull. People survived quite nicely for a long time without needing to know what is happening at this very minute in Iraq, Afganistan or Adelaide.

We are bombarded with so much data that has been selected for it's emotive content that real balance comes from turning most of the shit off.

I'd rather spend my energy creating and being positive than absorbing foxaganda.

Agreed.

Sure, if Fox is your news source. But a healthy awareness of what's happening around us is a good thing. Otherwise you might wake up one day to find out the being a heterosexual male has just been outlawed. (or riding adventure bikes in the countryside)

I tend to see all broadcast news media in the fox mould. just have various degrees of 'peppy'.

Off the 'shotguns' thread and back to the trip pics!
Do you know if those big rocks are climbable, or are they all crumbly? I'd love to take a drive out there (yes, drive, no bike in NZ when I visit :-() and have a look.
Cheers

The equipment on top would suggest they are - but there are better climbs elsewhere I'm told.
