Lexi/jewely how do,yes saw it and forever think he and only he is propping up the ALP.
Do not get me wrong ALP is heading up big changes on way.
I think I would do as this girl is jewely, my mum would over come fear, she is dead but no way she would face that alone.
While you may be right, some cash may dribble in to wrong hands, we are not third world and I have more trust than over seas aid.
Kiwis are hurting and by this time next week we will see close to the final death toll.
The pain, Even danger will be around much longer.

worry kills more people than anything else
dont worry...[chch has what half a million people...and maybe 300 toal died]

we dont worry about a road toll like that
or bother about 15,000 people said to die from smoking
or 5000 from drinking or 3000 from the sideaffects of booze

keep it in proportion
300 is nearly nothing

how many unionists ..died on the job last year?

or hero-shema...or the maplalm-ing of japan ..pre the nukes
millions died ..by the bombs of our all-lies..

we are eternal spirits...having a life sentance
once our time is up ..its up

till then
worry dont make anything better

be happy ..wherever we are
thats all we can take with us... when our times is up

we retain our emotional fears hopes dreams
and life experiences

we are an eternal living spirit..
inside our soul-body
..inside our flesh/blood body

who live in houses
only we can make into a home

live close-by those you love
those who help release stress
and we win..where-ever ..we are now

a pain /fear/ ..shared
is a pain halved

a hope dream love shared
is a pleasure shared

home is where the heart is
fel the love

A REALISTIC APPRAISAL OF THE SITUATION IN CHRISTCHURCH
FROM A N.Z. SOURCE
by WhiteKnight,
Friday, February 25, 2011, 13:17

My buddy in N.Z. sends this no BS report is what's really happening there. Contrast this with the stuff posted in the mainstream press.
_
It gets worse by the day!

The body count is climbing, as expected, but it's the survivors that are the real worry. The amount of shock experienced by the victims is beginning to really show now, as we go into day 5 after the disaster. The whole city rests on a pile of wet sand which sinks each time there is anoither tremor.

There are continuing after shocks - one every few minutes, some greater than others - which have reduced morale to a very low ebb. No one is sleeping.

Many have not had washing facilities for the past 5 days and water is really difficult to obtain.

It's not a lack of supply, but the difficulty in reaching it with smashed roads and liquifaction preventing car movment.

Toilets are non- existent and people are having to use their garden - if they have one, or a bucket with lime, if they can find it. How anyone with little children is coping I really don't know.

I suspect they were the first group to leave the city. After their September experience, I suggest no one with a young family would stay any longer than necessary. Just pack valuables into the car and be prepared for a long drive!

The attached photo was taken by a friend who works in Hurinui - 100k's north of Christchurch, the day after the quake. You can see the lines of cars forming at the petrol station. It's in the middle of nowhere, so you can imagine the scale of the exodus.

The privatization of local bodies in the 1990's is really coming home to roost - with a vengance. They have no mechanical or heavy lifting infrastructure anymore.

It's all by contractor

The city's security has been completely compromised
by the greed of a few...we have got lots of police from overseas

What really gets my goat is the BS coming from the parliamentarians. The city is smashed beyong repair -

even the Chamber of Commerce CEO has placed a figure of $20 BILLION on reconstruction,which is simply beyond the capacity of 4 million people to fund.

It must be at least 25% of our current GDP. Couple this with the fact that with every earth movement there is going to be further liquifaction,

and it makes the whole city an uninsurable risk!

But what really concerns me is that the insurers are beginning to discover many of the building consents issued over the past 50 years, should never have been approved. Houses were built on low lying sandy areas that had been beaches in the distant past.

Even a report published in the 1920's clearly stated that Christchurch should never be built on. It was too swampy.

Now the chickens have really come home to roost!

If, as I suspect, the insurers refuse to cover a significant number of dwellings that have been fraudulently sited on unsuitable land, life is going to get really tough for at least 5,000 home owners.

Thousands have already left the city, with whole blocks of houses being abandoned - possessions and all.

People are leaving the city in droves and apparently are intending never to return. Nelson and Blenheim (at the top the of the South Island) have been inundated with refugees. Many others have moved to the North Island.

The big supermarket chains in the city are asking their staff to return to work so that they can supply the remaining residents, but it looks as though most of their staff have left.

I suspect the army will be put into the supermarkets to keep them going. I can imagine the recruiting sergeant asking the new recruit, what trade he would like to enter. 'Shopkeeper' !

The parliamentarians are in grave danger of seriously misleading the public into a false sense of security. They have followed the tried and tested strategy of lying and denying.

But this time, with the evidence firmly at hand, for all to see, anyone that claims the city can and will be rebuilt, is deluding themselves.

sure puts a spin
on building on sure footings

wonder why they chose to stand
on such shakey grounds?

aint govt great?
