On this we're taking a bath

Let me add my voice to the outcry over this bastard Labour government attempting to limit the water pressure in our showers. How dare they. How $@*&^%% dare they!

This government has to go. But I'm afraid they won't be going because John Key is really starting to show his inexperienced moronic colours. He caved on the anti-smacking bill when he could have done what he was supposed to do. Be the opposition!! And god forbid, actually listen to the NZ public.

Sure the economy's tanking, crime is on the rise, health is down the toilet, education is a joke. Like sheep we just bleat from the cheap seats, knowing that as Joe average NZ citizen we are absolutely powerless to do anything to stop the political monster that the elite has created. Hence the growing - smouldering, festering - sense of resentment and rage that something like this shower thing illustrates. We accept that the government sits around all day thinking up new ways to torment us, to play with our lives to feed their egos. But when something happens so close to home, like the anti-smacking bill, and the government steps inside our home, we feel just how powerless, and at their mercy, we are.

Democracy would be nice, but democracy is a myth. It doesn't exist. The rich elite have always held the power, and they always will.

The economy is denuded and average families are struggling. I guarantee the politicians will vote themselves and accept a 15 or 20 per cent pay rise. Their expenses increase by inflation plus ten. John Key can take time out in his $5m house in Hawaii. Queen Helen can spend $40m on her own personal tramping ground and call it conservation.

I'll bet the water pressure at her house is good.
