Form becomes shape becomes thought....

Ok so I remember to post again... I totally do that, this posting thing.... honest...

Anyway I had intended to do a slightly more political post about Mr Henry and also the Super-Mayoral race, though in both cases I have procastinated too long and real life have taken care of them for me... Not that it doesn't deserve a review.

Mr Henry

Is an idiot, which is about all that needs be said. It does worry me that TVNZ have recieved around 3000 emails and letters of support for the racist, claiming he is a good non-PC guy.... Or you know, a racist. It concerns me that NZers seem to think that these sorts of comments are ok, that it is what is done... Of course it is defended by people saying "when is it the white males time" and such like, like us White males have had a bad time of it or something... When we look at the previous Governer-Generals that NZ has had, we have the current NZ born Indian male, then a NZ Born white female, a NZ born white male, a NZ born white female and then NZ born White males back to 1967 and before that Brittish white males. So when will NZ pick a 'kiwi bloke'? only every time save 3 appointments since 1967. Note the lack of Maori Governor-Generals, or Polynesian, or east-asian, all ethnic constituants of NZ, and signifigant ones at that... but they don't get to be GG. Should they whine like little girls too? It's not like the GG does anything of great use, or at least in normal transmission of services... He just greets people and smiles and waves and hosts parties (and maybe a few more things.) Is it not ok that some of our more mis-represented ethnic groups get to have a person that looks like them be in the job? Does it not increase our appearance of diversity and harmony?

Not that I would expect bigots to understand...
