John Key is Not a "Colonial Secretary"

Contrary to Dr Langley's scathing criticism in the Herald, page 11, that John is a pandering puppet I would simply believe that he is a New Breed of Politician that cares about his Country Men and Women and has the Courage to show it! In those little boy's eyes I saw Love and Hope and if PEACE can be brought to Pass then surely that should be the Aim for what of when We LOOK BACK in a thousand Years? God is Not the God of War!

I kissed the Cenotaph

And put the Old Soldiers

To Bed

For Another Year

My Doesn't Time Fly

Then I carved a Cross

From a Scarlet Rose

Will I make it on Foot

Next Year?

Lady Bird Heart

Still not on Medication

And even the old dears at the Op Shop think I seem SO MUCH BETTER. As long as you can reconcile that you'll have no work and that, at the blink of an eye, people will invariably be tempted, even your own family, and successful at trampling over your Human Rights. As long as you can reconcile that there is Still No HONEST PROTECTION for the Mentally Ill for that is still the reality WITHOUT getting ANGRY AND ACCEPT THAT LIFE IS NOT FAIR AND THAT JUSTICE DOES NOT EXIST for the Mentally ill then you may just be able to stay away from the Drugs and the Loony Bins Those ARE BITTER PILLS to swallow but that is just the way it is.

Dear John

You were FABULOUS at Gallipoli. Strange how after all those deaths we are now firm friends with the Turkish and it is still hard to understand why we led Our Young Men to slaughter in the first place? Who ordered the Manoeuvre? We should be Ashamed as much as Proud! Why do Women give birth to have their son's lives considered so cheap?

Apparently, after the Speech, which was GREAT, you put on casuals and turned it into a "Love Fest" so the Media says. Wished I was there!

It was Winston Churchill, the most brilliant orator ever, that my father hated and no wonder why.

Dear John

University is a way of life for a lot of unemployed people. Just give them Work with a decent minimum wage and many would be happy. Bring back more Apprenticeships, etc, etc.

Love the tie with the cows. Wish the farmers had more rain. I supposed to be Rain Dancing at the moment.

Why Do We Not Allow Euthanasia for Mental Patients?

If We had a Humane Society We Would Provide Prospects and opportunity of fulfilment for these people. Everywhere I look I see highly intelligent people lost to either no work at all or soul destroying menial labour when they would have so much more to offer if our Safety Nets offered HOPE!

How can the Bible be central to the Legal System when it does not, with vigilance, protect the Weak and the Meek?

After thirty years life experience as a Mental Health Consumer I say I should have the Right to say No More. If I went with my Psychiatric Nurse to the homes of "My Fellows" I'm pretty certain that I would be horrified by the abject suffering that I would witness. Most would be isolated, depressed, frightened, impoverished with No Hope in sight and no Answers.

We are going backwards instead of forwards and if we, as a Society, cannot offer the dignity of prospects and opportunity what Right do We have Not to offer Euthanasia? If we don't Acknowledge their Human Rights why don't We simply just put them out of their Misery?
I think that would be a Square Deal! PLEASE!
