    it isn't the fact that people sometimes do stupid things that bothers me

    ---------- its the fact that, with some people, their ego is toooooo enormous to allow them to FACE the fact that what they have done is stupid

    ------- so they bend over backwards to justify it and prove it WASN'T stupid

    ----------- and so leave themselves open to doing it again, or something similarly stupid, in the future.

    Its OK, they had friends in high places or they worked for the govt
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    The Greens Political manifesto is one of production that is the least harmfull to the environment. When you consider the harm that the communist countries have done to their their own environment and compare that with Green philosphy any comparison between the two is just political nonsense....

    The Greens have advocated the redistribution of wealth. By encouraging such a high progressive tax rate as we have at the moment they are encouraging the taking of money from those who are prepared to work for it and handing it out to those who don't work as hard.

    The Green's Political manifesto is one of production that is harmful to the population of New Zealand. (Of course it could be argued that our population are not part of the environment.) The imposition of a carbon tax would mean that industry would have to find less efficient means of production. Horse drawn carriages instead of cars perhaps? But would that mean a lot more methane?

    Much of the Green policy is pure ideology with little practical application.

    No, that is just 'your' interpretation of their policies and as such does not make them a communist party.

    Hard work has rarely equated to higher wages. In fact I would say the very opposite. Higher wages are based on skill, knowledge..........and demand.

    Your analysis of the Greens carbon tax policies, that industry would have to find less efficient means of production, is indicative of your lack of corperate mentality. One again I say the very opposite as a more efficient means of production would require industry to pay less carbon tax, not more as you suggest.

    Considering the harm caused to the environment by excessive burning, you'd think they would have endeavoured to RECYCLE.

    I hope they plant some natives quickly or the gorse will dominate the botanic ecosystem anyway.

    (And I know that the burnt ashes will provide nutrients for new growth and is technically recycling but not the least harmful method to the environment.)

    Na, it's all got too serious, what with Winj loosing his caps, posts getting shifted to Pointless Drivel, and now if you are bad bad boy you get sent to the sin bin. At least I know that you are one guy who does not take my posts too seriously...........you me and Winj have something in common. Now that's a scary thought.

    Oh no mate, the ol' 420 is completely carbon neutral; whatever you smoke up, the carbon in it was absorbed out of the air by the plant.




    Or were you just talking about the gorse......
