" " Shepard Faireys (b. 1970) Barack Obama "Hope" poster (2008) is credited with helping to elect the 44th president of the United States. Steve Rhodes/Flickr (CC BY-ND 2.0) They say the pen is mightier than the sword, but what about the paintbrush? Can a piece of art be so significant that it changes the world? Some pieces have had that power. But more than its inherent value, artwork often becomes groundbreaking in part due to the way people react to it and the circumstances that surrou...

Trigger-happy people are dangerous, guns shoot people and males get high on guns more than females. Police tried the careful approach to a guman in Aramoana and lost out. There has to be a better program for these lost boys sent away from home by the sleazy-peazy Australian government wanting to slide out of their failures to integrate people. We are much the same here, but we havent the option to pass the parcel. So lets have a sensible program, and give them something to ground the...

I have concerns about the enthusiasms of NZ police from time to time, but I wouldnt trade the worst of them for Russians. Herodotus 3 Great to read this, thank you to the the community and mana whenua, for some real action on our environment. I just hope that all abide by this and we dont see any going against this as it is viewed as "optional". Better to see the local body/govt formalise this. Better still enlarge such protection into other areas �� "Mana whenua on Wa...

dimorphic continuum is mashed into a binary categorisation. Some pretty shitty treatment of people who might not be close to one of the poles, when only transwomen are supposed to be treated shittily. The earth has two geographic poles. But almost nobody is at the "north pole" or the "south pole". weka … are you saying that you believe sex is a spectrum that sits between two poles? By all means talk about the fairness with Semenya.
