Belly, I'll be at the RSL tonight, with my partner, dinner, a band (old school) and a few beers. yes we Greens do normal thinks like that. Here again we may both be on the same side of the fence. I hope no OUTLAW MOTOR CYCLE CLUB members turn up, could get a little bit out of hand if they did. I welcome anyone who keeps the peace and these people don't have a good record on that score.
Going to a Green BBQ tomorrow, some red meat for me, we are not all vegans and veg people either. My partner is Maori and Green and do they love their meat them Maori, I tell T its a hang over from when they were eating us Pakeha's.

We all have our prejudices and misconceptions about others. I've always thought of myself as a liberal minder person (liberal in the true sense of the word) and not one to judge 'a book by it cover'. As I said in my previous post my partner is Maori and until I met her I had little contact with Maori and had a preconceived idea of Maori people, and I hate to say a somewhat prejudiced view, "a bad bunch" and if you were to meet T's 2 bro's and other family members and extended family members ( right out of Once Were Warriors) you too might formulate a misguided opinion of these guys. Bloody softy's if you ask me (maybe not) but they welcomed me into the whanau as 'one of them' can't ask for more than that. They have their ways but I've been to many Maori gathering here and in NZ and never any trouble up too 1000 people (and one pakeha, well maybe more than one, seemed like one). Can't judge a book by its cover.

oh no,watching the box sat night, these laws will also effect our warfies, dock workers, just through association. I'm no intellectual genius but can still see and understand, ramerfications of these laws. It will be like the flu, nothing to worry about, still might get it...
