Category: My latest rant

Sometimes I just need to rant. Be afraid, you are my captive audience.

Meth market munted?

  This nasty old recession is making things tough for everyone out there, even our drug-addled citizens. A story on the Dominion Post website today says prices for methamphetamine are on the rise but the product is in short supply…

Justice for all … well, some …

Guilty or innocent,, scales of justice

I know there’s probably some law expert out there who can explain in a logical manner just how our system is just and fair but for the life of me I can’t see it. A bloke appeared in court in…

Taking the man out of mana

Apparently attacking your pregnant ex isn’t such a big deal. Especially if you have your mana to protect. A manager at Te Papa had a row with his ex while visiting her and their toddler. The child got a bleeding…

A sensible decision

The key to getting it right
