Whilst I'm in the mood for a little Green bashing - come to think of it I'm always in that sort of a mood; the only thing better than a little Green bashing is a big Green bashing - I am grateful to the Not PC blog for supplying this list of things the stupid all controlling Greens have either banned or wanted banned.
......grape imports, alcohol ads, political speech for one year in three, ferrets, TV ads for kids, ads on TVNZ, growth hormones, native wood chip exports, native logging, pig swill, xenotransplantion trials, smacking, GE, field trials for GE, chemical trespass, property rights from the Bill of Rights, quick-fire logging, logging, fishing for toothfish, commercial fishing over much of New Zealand, whaling, 'toxic timber,' set-netting, bottom trawling, feeding animal remains to farm animals, battery cages, CCA-treated timber in playgrounds, direct-to-consumer advertising of drugs, crisps and meat pies from tuck shops, "the screening of programmes which sensationalise violence or use violence," "the routine feeding of antibiotics to healthy animals," GE maize, commercial releases of genetically engineered crops, "nuclear shipments from New Zealand's exclusive economic zone," sow crates, the dry sow stall, "weapons of mass destruction," the tooth fairy, nuclear powered vessels in our waters, beef imports from Britain to other European countries, "Japanese fishing boats from New Zealand waters," "the importation of all timber and timber products not certified as sustainable," "unsustainable" biofuels, open-cast mining, driven-shaft, gold mining, coal mining, mining, human cloning, sheep cloning, food irradiation, spray drift, all ships carrying nuclear weapons, wastes and fuel from the European Economic Zone, "backyard burning of rubbish such as plastics and treated timber," fireworks, "smoking in all workplaces including bars, restaurants and offices," "new uses of coal for energy," existing uses of coal of energy, new thermal power stations, "factory farming," dairy farming around Lake Taupo, dairy farming around Rotorua lakes, dairy farming in the Waikato river basin, "project-based approvals for the development of GE organisms," "all further building of prisons," free trade with China, junk food advertising to children, "the sale and long-term lease of New Zealand property to foreign investors," "the sale of toy tobacco products to under 18s," GM wheat, "environmentally destructive fishing methods," "uranium shipments," "the use of the antibiotic avoparcin in animal feed," "imports of cars older than 7 years," amalgam use in dentistry, the incineration of unsorted waste, unsorted waste, waste, "risky anti-depressants," "import of tissue for sheep cloning," 'trade in hazardous wastes," "'super baby' selection," plastic shopping bags, shopping bags, shopping, live sheep exports, and dihydrogen monoxide.
Not bad.
Why would anyone ever vote for a party that is so in your face, in your wallet and in your life in general. Governments should provide an acceptable level of national security (and most of that was already in situ long before governments were even thought of courtesy of the sea), lay on a bit of infrastructure, lock the bad buggers up in deep dark holes, make sure we can trade with the rest of the real world with as little encumbrance as possible and that is about it.
They should certainly not be telling me what light bulbs I can buy. Speaking of which, I am already stockpiling Edison's designs; every trip to New World a couple more loverly incandescents get added to the vault for the day when I can no longer buy them. That is what this looney tunes government has reduced me, a sane (I think) rational bloke to - I am hoarding, squirrel like, bloody light bulbs. Give me strength.
