Zardoz- 1974- starring Sean Connery
A huge flying stone head that spits out guns and such lines as 'The Gun is good, The Penis is bad'
This one is a doozy!
I recommend the cosumption of mind-altering substances before viewing. (That being what makes a lot of 70's movies work!)
If you have seen it, a humourous recap can be found here:

Copyright for my material
I have recently been asked for permission to quote/post material from my blog.
The answer is YES, as long as there is a link or acknowledgement somewhere on the site.
I write this stuff to be read and entertain and the further it spreads, the better- provided my ego is suitably inflated by being given credit for my work.
Go for it!

Ron Mark strikes the right note
I like Ron Mark, for all that I disagree with a lot of what his party touts- he is the worker of the party and in my opinion, the backbone. I knew him personally before he got into politics- he was the lieutenant least likely to be shot in the back by his own troops!
Today he gets stuck into deadbeat parents and feral children:
WairarapaTimes Age
I'm not impressed with the bit about extra funding for Maori Wardens. I'm against anything being run on racial lines. Give the funding to the police, who may want to open specialist roles for kiddy policing- a sort of social worker with some police powers. The current Maori wardens should apply for these positions. They sound like they should do well in the role.
But here is credit for proposing something- anything- to deal with a rising problem. Out of control dirtbag kids, backed up by bleeding heart lawyers. All rights with no responsibilities.
Most of the 122 seat warmers are too craven to so much as make a suggestion...

Website of the week
'If men have all the power, how come women make the rules"
This site is priceless! You won't find a copy of this book in a library near you. It's too hot for the shops to handle, as well.
Jack Kammer dissects the sisterhood's propaganda brilliantly! Best of all, all he asks in payment for downloading a copy of his book, is that you write a bit of feedback for his work- Just a one-liner is fine. He happily accepts money, too!

Democracy is like gun ownership
It's a real good idea, but should not be available to all and sundry.
As with poteen, democracy is best watered down!
And like gun ownership, it should be the privilege (and the right) of those citizens of good standing in the community. Not for all-comers.
There needs to be a criteria meet, to be a voter.
To own a gun, a citizen needs to be of good character- someone who has never been convicted of a serious crime.
To have a vote, a citizen should also have never been convicted of a serious offence. Furthermore, the citizen should have a vested interest in society. They should own or share title in a property.
On the subject of the criteria for becoming a voting citizen, I would also like to see them having doing time in a public service. As an aside, this could be an option to wiping a student loan debt. Armed forces, civil defense, ambulance, fire service- there are many options.
The criteria could well take other forms, but a screening process to eliminate the non-productive
is needed. The vote for all leads to 'Bread and Circuses'
Know anywhere this is happening?

Crime & Punishment
Reposted:
Apart from a few pre-election posturing sessions, I have seen little policy on addressing crime in NZ.
There is a bit of huffing and puffing about more police and longer sentences- that's about it.
If readers that belong to the political parties take exception, I would point out that if you DO have such policies, you have failed to promote them effectively.
OK, so how about some ideas- I have been freely criticizing, but I also have some solutions for your consideration.
1- Get police policing, not paper-filing and entering data for national office.
2- Get police out of traffic enforcement and regain some respect from the public.
3- Go after crimes with victims. Forget about possession/cultivating cannabis. The lib's have got this right! Go hard on those selling drugs to minors, though.
4- Arm all police with lethal and non-lethal alternatives. Regarding non-lethal- don't try to re- invent the wheel, this stuff has been used for decades overseas.
5- The Judiciary to take direction from their masters. The citizens of NZ, via government.
6- The position of Judge should be a profession in itself, not a lawyers perk.
7- Offenders and punishment- there are steps needed short of imprisonment. Young and first time minor offenders should take their punishment in the full public eye.
Dayglo overalls and chains- being clearly seen by the public do be paying for what they have done. And hopefully shamed by it!
Learn from this!
8- Imprisonment
The reality is that prison (as we have now) is a soul-destroying, harsh and Spartan place. To decent, well-adjusted person, that is. To the revolving door inmate, it's no big deal- the drugs just cost more and the sex is...Different. To modify their behavior, prison has to be a less attractive alternative to the outside. Thus a stricter (not harsher, there is a difference) routine, the minimal privileges earned by hard work and good behavior, not 'as a right.' Privileges, for example, being a job that is out of the weather, a monthly phone call or 'visit', via video link.
Hard?
You bet!
As the old line goes "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime"
9- Confirmed recidivists
The End Of The Road.
A containment facility for confirmed recidivist offenders.
Sited on a bleak off-shore island, this facility is generally reserved for those who have been sentenced to a third term of imprisonment or those convicted of an offense which could currently warrant preventitive detention. A jury must unanimously vote to approve this sentence.
The few buildings are concrete ablution facilities, bunkhouses and guardtowers.
The perimeter is patrolled and secured. Inside the electrified razor wire, the inmates are left to their own devices. Basic subsistence supplies are delivered to the compound. There is no electricity, Water goes in, sewerage goes out.
Selected video footage is displayed at the first offenders facility.
The only way out is to opt for voluntary euthanasia.
10- Why- What we are doing now just isn't working well enough. Rehabilitation is a crock of shit. Maybe it works in the same way a thousand monkeys banging on typewriters will occasionaly produce the odd word.
When is a crim rehabilitated?- when he decides he doesn't want to do the prison thing anymore. Simple as that.
The bleeding hearts have been experimenting and spouting psychobabble for years to no avail. The old hard routine at least had a bit more deterrent value.
These aren't theories just dreamed up, but observations from my time as a Prison Officer. Trust me, the crims are laughing on the way to their rehab. programs about how this is only for the parole board. They are laughing at you weak people- the prey. That is what they call you.
But really the bottom line is not rehab. That must come from within. The bottom line is the public must be protected. It's expensive, for sure, but the cost of having a recidivist criminal on the loose is higher. Take a look at the figures here:
http://www.safe-nz.org.nz/Articles/lock.htm
Finally- The Death Penalty.
I say yes, for the worst types of murderer- the US would say first-degree murderer. Then only when the evidence is hard physical evidence. DNA match, multiple eye-witnesses or video capture. Then only after a set period of imprisonment, say-five years to allow for appeal (and time to contemplate their actions and the consequences)
This is a quick glimpse into my world of Crime and Punishment- there is plenty more...

Deborah Coddington's Ranting
If the discussions on New Zealand political blogsites indicate the quality of political debate in this country our intelligentsia is in a parlous state.
More:
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/search/story.cfm?storyid=00090745-C39E-13C8-8ACA83027AF1010F
I don't have the luxury of a proof reader to pick up my typos. I don't get paid (this costs me money) for writing either. I would have put a comma between 'country' and 'our', mind.
I am flattered to find myself in the intelligentsia, though. Not too flattered, as most of the great unwashed make Mr Blobby look like Oscar Wilde.
She may have been unfortunate in striking Millsy, but I thought she would have met far worse in parliament. I have personally heard MP's come out with some fairly foul personal abuse!
It's useful to know the caliber of some of these extremist nutbars out there- If I hadn't meet them here and on previous forums, I would have doubted they existed in real life. Deborah Coddington may do well to spend more time in here and see what type of people make up the big wide world outside of her circle. In the same way all lawmakers should spend time working in a prison- as a lowly Corrections Officer...
As I see it, blogging is a reflection on society- there are all types out there from Saints to Sphincters- and all the shades in between. What she chose to focus on- personal abuse- this goes on in real life. Does she also wish for our private conversations to be moderated, because I'm hearing the same stuff there? One would hope not...
Or are these speculations just side issues. Could the real issue be that journo's hate us taking attention from the card-carrying union members- are we a threat- I'm seeing more attacks on bloggers, while they simultaneously try to say we are irrelevant?- I wonder...

'Sensitive' Special Forces Sniper
December 9, 2005 (CNN)
While interviewing an anonymous US Special Forces soldier on his sniper skills, a Reuters News agent asked the soldier what he felt when shooting members of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The soldier shrugged and replied, "Recoil."

An Asset Wasted
GOOSE hunters in Wairarapa are outraged at what they believe is a secret plan by New Zealand Fish and Game to cull 800 Canada geese at Lake Wairarapa this week.
Neil Hayes, of Carterton, said yesterday he had got wind of the plan, which he said proved to hunters that Fish and Game could only manage bird populations "by default".
"If a cull is necessary – and we don't believe it is – it should be done in a sporting manner with all gamlicensece holders given the opportunity to participate."
More:
http://www.times-age.co.nz/localnews/storydisplay.cfm?storyid=3668040&thesection=localnews&thesubsection=&thesecondsubsection=
Some cretins couldn't organise a piss-up in the proverbial brewery! Can they perhaps not see that people would be willing to pay money to shoot the damn things? (Which are like eating a boiled gumboot, BTW)
As said later in the article, people from the states pay big money to come out here and shoot stuff- it's not just geese but deer, thar and an assortment of other animals that our taxes are used to destroy as pests.
Sure, they are pests but why not make a dollar out of getting rid of them?
The only thing that got deer really under control, was when they became worth money to shoot and capture. People making money got the job done.

My summer project
Just about finished framing up another very similar, except that one is a farm shed.
This one is hidden away out the back of nowhere, far from the eyes of building inspectors and other busybodies.
So far, I have cleared the gorse and marked out the site- I have to finish the jobs I have already started before building this!
Pot belly stove, solar powered lights, a stream big enough to get wet in one minute away- and plenty of empty whiskey bottles to put candles in!

Dang Internet Tests!
Asses WildRaw score: 44% Big Breasts, 54% Big Ass, and 36% Cute!
Thanks for taking the T and A and C test! Based on your selections, the results are clear: you show an attraction to smaller breasts, larger asses, and sexier composure than others who've taken the test.
Note that because you scored small on breasts but large on ass size, it might appear you like girls bottom heavy. That's probably not the case. What's more likely is that you notice curvy, voluptuous asses, and they turn you on. Breasts are hit or miss, though, and besides, extremely large ones are just saggy and gross, in your opinion.
My third variable, "cuteness" is a mostly objective measure of how innocent a given model looked. It's determined by a combination of a lot of factors: lack of dark eye makeup, facial expression, posture, etc. If you scored high on that variable, you are either really nice OR you're into deflowering teens. If you scored low, you are attracted to raunchier, sexier, women. In your case, your lower than average score suggests you appreciate a sluttier look. Kudos!
Recommended Celebrity: J-Lo, when she's looking extra sexy. Probably not when she's acting.
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 37% on tit-size
You scored higher than 62% on ass-size
You scored higher than 10% on cuteness

Light Entertainment
I'm moving my first book to this address:
http://medlersintime.blogspot.com/
I will be putting a thousand or so words on each day ( I have to do a little editing for this format, so it will appear as a serial)
Don't expect some kind of literary masterpiece- my thing is 'Boy's Own Adventure' for modern boys and my demographic is teens to late twenties.
Lots of lawlessness, guns, drinking, shooting natives, piracy, big trucks and equipment, a smattering of futuristic technology and a tiny bit of sex, here and there!
The story unravels as it goes, with many questions the reader may have being answered towards the end. The book is stand-alone, but a sequel is currently underway (58k words)
Anyway, it's there, it's free to read- enjoy!

On lighting fires
One the above subject, I recently heard a story typifying this country's slow suffocation under the ever increasing weight of red tape.
It appears that a local lawnmower/gardener type person wanted to have a small bonfire, to burn off a pile of trimmings from some trees he had been working on. Being a community-minded type of chap, he applied for the appropriate permit and received it.
On the due day, with the weather right and the wing low, he set fire to the pile. Shortly after, the fire brigade arrived and put it out. Somebody had complained about the fire.
'No problem', said the firemen, when the permit was produced- 'you can light it again as soon as we leave, but if we are called out again, we have to come and put it out. You can keep doing that as often as you like, as you have done the right thing and obtained a permit- because you have done that, there will be no charge.'
And to think we make jokes about the Irish...

An Observation on Blogging
I follow predominantly right-wing and libertarian blogs. The lefty ones tend to be full of stuff I have no interest in or believe to be bullshit, so I avoid them. Occasionally, I follow a link to an amusing piece of hypocrisy or bullshit. I very rarely bother with comments, then only with bloggers I have known from way back in MSN days.
They have their blogs to spout their stuff in and I have no need to point out the errors of their ways, as I see them. Like teaching a pig to whistle, it wastes your time and annoys the pig.
Why is it they feel an need- no compulsion, to attack the right wing blogs continally. I could understand them doing that on their own blogs- that's what they are for, but why the need to flood the comments section?
The posts are either:
1- personal attacks
2- long-winded cut& pastes
3- almost never an intelligent debate of the issue- just a 'you are wrong' based on moral issues.
4- devoid of any humour.
The word compulsion probably is the key to it- the left are fascinated with it.
One thing I have learned- reasoned debate is a waste of time- just kick them in their vestigial balls!

A Day at the Races
Race day at Tauherenikau tommorrow. I'm probably in the ambulance that chases the horses around the track, which is better than dealing with heat prostration compounded by alcohol.
We usually have some drama, someone either falls off or gets squashed by a horse and there is always a suspected (or actual) cardiac problem.
Having already figured out that one horse can run faster than another, I have no need to spend money finding this out, so I'm safe there.
Watch this space and tommorrow I will post the most stupid questions we get asked. For some reason, a person in uniform is meant to know EVERYTHING about what's going on at the event.
'No, I have no idea how to fill out a trifecta coupon, but you could just give me the money instead' (I'm sure the shoulder patch says 'Ambulance Officer, not 'Race Official')
'No, we don't sell sunscreen' (in your case,Pinky-too late!)
'No, we don't sell paracetamol' (just keep drinking!)
'No, we don't sell knee supports, sunglasses, crutches, walking sticks or wheelchairs'
But on the positive side, one person did stick $50 in the donation tin after we treated a child for some minor sprain!
The weather forecast isn't that great, which is good for us. A scorcher means lots of work!
