Without any doubt, the numbers and votes are on our side about this. Without any doubt our government has ignored the people at their own peril. We must build a Public Service Television choice for our people. We've got together about this issue. The time to sit back is over. It's time to stand up and be counted.

I have seen a great improvement in the students who were stuggling with script after using the software. We are looking forward to the World Championships!

Vicki - one of my least engaged students enjoys getting rid of the "rainbow lists" so they are all green! Students are engaged in so many different (and unexpected) ways.

We have spent 100 years building up these companies for our benefit. It is crazy to sell them to other countries for very short-term gain. Once gone, we can never get them back except at huge cost to ourselves. I am absolutely against the sale of New Zealand’s assets.

Here in the States the anti-smokers try to exaggerate the success they’ve had with campus bans in order to play the bandwagon effect of “everyone <em>else </em>is doing it! <em>You </em>should too!” propaganda trick. The only place you see the falsity of that is in the rare and quiet reporting of bans being “modified” in order to cut down on the fire risks of hidden smoking and in order to mollify the neighbors around campuses who get tired of smoking students hanging out on their porches.
