    Now that we've had all this rain as is usual at this time of year why
    are the greenies still screaming?
    And all that riverside fencing lost in the floods.. Are the greenies
    going to compensate the cockies/
    I know.. rhetorical questions that'll never get answered but then again
    there might be an honest one out there ..

    Do you think they should be compensated, george? If so, why?

    Hard to find honesty in your circles is it george?

    You mean you still haven't twigged that's their sole raison d'être?


    And all that riverside fencing lost in the floods.. Are the greenies

    Only if the judge decrees yer greenies have been the direct cause of those losses. So, how do think that one would play out in court, George?

    There is, so to make your day, try this:

    Profit and toxic pollution and degradation of the environment? Or pristine landscapes and waterways safe to swim in and enjoy, and make us "the envy of the world?"

    You to choose.

    When a nation can only make a shaky go of it economically by literally crapping
    in its own nest, you have the supreme irony that is "Strength through toxicity."

    You don’t like that one? OK then: so what does your select little circle of Einsteins call it, George?

    Oh, and since you’re still with me, there's that trifling $50Billion of cockie debt that they'll never be able to repay.

    Should the Greenies pay this off for them as well?

    Take your time...and while you do, ponder the melancholy truth that, as a component of the human diet, absolutely no one in this world needs dairy at all, albeit with the exception of a small fraction of its total population during their early months.

    Instead of swallowing up the hyperbole like dear old Keith here, it pays to listen to the scientists rather than the political activists.

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/environment/news/article.cfm?c_id=39&objectid=11846293

    Interesting to see:
    "Some important context is that the state (i.e. concentrations of water quality
    indicators) are still very good when compared internationally; indeed, some by several orders of magnitude"

    Yep, read it again. Our waterways actually are very good compared internationally.

    Also interesting is the "legacy effect" of contaminates created decades agi leaching from the ground:

    "The general trend of greatest concern is the gradual increase in nitrate-nitrogen at many (but not all) pastoral and urban river monitoring sites.

    This general pattern may be partly due to the "legacy effect" of nitrate that was leached from land years or decades ago and is now emerging from groundwater
    into surface water."

    Regardless of land use decades ago, current practices are improving:
    "There is a widespread improvement under way in river phosphorus concentrations
    in agricultural areas. This could be due to stock exclusion, better fertiliser management, better effluent management, better erosion control, or some combination."

    All in all some very good comments from the scientists.


    When a nation can only make a shaky go of it economically by literally
    crapping in its own nest, you have the supreme irony that is "Strength through toxicity."

    Except, Keith, your ranting is purely aligned with your own uncontrollable whinge reflex, rather than objectivity.


    You don’t like that one? OK then: so what does your select little circle
    of Einsteins call it, George?

    Oh, and since you’re still with me, there's that trifling $50Billion of
    cockie debt that they'll never be able to repay.

    Oh, I rather doubt banks have lent $50billion that can't be repaid just as I doubt you know better than said banks.


    Should the Greenies pay this off for them as well?

    Stupid sarcasm.


    Take your time...and while you do, ponder the melancholy truth that, as a
    component of the human diet, absolutely no one in this world needs dairy at all, albeit with the exception of a small fraction of its total population during their early months.

    There's a lot about consumer consumption that is not needed. None of it is going away. Did you have a point with your comment?

    Didn't think so.

    By the way, tourism has overtaken dairy now. Stand by for the dopey anti crowd to get bored with dairy and start tilting at the tourism windmill.

    We should really feel sorry for a scribbler without gullible media.. :)
    When you look at rivers such as at Ironbridge in the UK and compare its
    current look with how it looked during the Industrial Revolution.
    Or the Mersey. Or the Tyne. Or the Thames (which still looks pretty shit)
    Our rivers look pretty good

    Marketing is about increasing your market share. Tourism is now this country's largest income earner. Looks like John Key did a pretty good job there. No wonder Air New Zealand, the world's best airline according to many, has grabbed
    him as a board
    member.

    You mean you still haven't twigged that's their sole raison d'être?


    And all that riverside fencing lost in the floods.. Are the greenies
    going to compensate the cockies/


    Only if the judge decrees yer greenies have been the direct cause of those losses. So, how do think that one would play out in court, George?



    I know.. rhetorical questions that'll never get answered but then again >>>> there might be an honest one out there ..


    There is, so to make your day, try this:

    Profit and toxic pollution and degradation of the environment? Or pristine landscapes and waterways safe to swim in and enjoy, and make us "the envy of the world?"

    You to choose.

    Instead of swallowing up the hyperbole like dear old Keith here, it pays to listen to the scientists rather than the political activists.

    Interesting to see:
    "Some important context is that the state (i.e. concentrations of water quality indicators) are still very good when compared internationally; indeed, some by several orders of magnitude"

    Yep, read it again. Our waterways actually are very good compared internationally.

    Also interesting is the "legacy effect" of contaminates created decades agi leaching from the ground:

    "The general trend of greatest concern is the gradual increase in nitrate-nitrogen at many (but not all) pastoral and urban river monitoring sites.

    This general pattern may be partly due to the "legacy effect" of nitrate that was leached from land years or decades ago and is now emerging from groundwater into surface water."

    Regardless of land use decades ago, current practices are improving:
    "There is a widespread improvement under way in river phosphorus concentrations in agricultural areas. This could be due to stock exclusion, better fertiliser management, better effluent management, better erosion control, or some combination."

    All in all some very good comments from the scientists.


    When a nation can only make a shaky go of it economically by literally crapping in its own nest, you have the supreme irony that is "Strength through toxicity."

    Except, Keith, your ranting is purely aligned with your own uncontrollable whinge reflex, rather than objectivity.


    You don’t like that one? OK then: so what does your select little circle of Einsteins call it, George?

    Oh, and since you’re still with me, there's that trifling $50Billion of cockie debt that they'll never be able to repay.

    Oh, I rather doubt banks have lent $50billion that can't be repaid just as I
    doubt you know better than said banks.


    Should the Greenies pay this off for them as well?

    Stupid sarcasm.


    Take your time...and while you do, ponder the melancholy truth that, as a component of the human diet, absolutely no one in this world needs dairy at all, albeit with the exception of a small fraction of its total population during their early months.

    There's a lot about consumer consumption that is not needed. None of it is going away. Did you have a point with your comment?

    Didn't think so.

    By the way, tourism has overtaken dairy now. Stand by for the dopey anti crowd to get bored with dairy and start tilting at the tourism windmill.

    So we go from "100% pure" to "not quite as bad as overseas" - all in
    just under 8 years. I guess you are proud of National being
    "ambush-us" for New Zild, aren't you JohnO?

    Yet another problem you blame on National that was happening while your
    great a glorious Liebor party were screwing New Zealand.

    Pooh
