Identity Theft Not Serious

Crime’s okay, so long as nobody gets murdered.

It's not a good look at all…But you can't in the same breath call it serious. It's unpleasant, but on a scale compared with murder or rape or something, it's in a different ballpark.
ACT’s President Michael Crozier doesn’t get it.

Mr Crozier is more concerned about appearances than whether what Garrett did was morally reprehensible. This explains his references to “not a good look”, “not serious” and “unpleasant”.

I can understand his concern about the image of the party, especially the accusations of hypocrisy. If he is to avoid these accusations he will need to ensure the party is more truthful about the messages it sends out.

That's where I can help. Here’s my attempt at a few catchy slogans to excite the voters.

Tough on crime, but only when committed by others

One law for almost all

We’re sick and tired of all the excuses criminals use, except our own

The party of freedom – from criminal convictions

We’re stand for other peoples' personal responsibility

Transparency and accountability, except where we are involved

  1. I read what you say and it makes a lot of sense, then we see there are 1 or 2 comments, so not many people are reading your postings. Assuming you are not an Anne Franks with a diary in your cupboard, why cant you link to some mainstream blogs and get your opinion heard !

    You deserve a larger audience..

  2. You're very kind, but I'm already pleasantly surprised by the traffic this site gets, and the volume of traffic's been growing quite rapidly recently.

    I would also prefer to blog to a smaller, more intelligent, audience, rather than become another Kiwiblog or Standard. Small is beautiful.

    Also the number of comments a post gets can be very deceptive. Some of my most-read posts have either zero or 1 comment.

I welcome comments, but I ask commenters to follow a few simple rules:

1. I delete anonymous comments. Please use either a name or moniker. I am not asking anyone to reveal their secret identity. Just don't call yourself "Anonymous".
2. Please don't abuse or defame others.
3. Moronic or nonsensical comments may be deleted.
4. I don't often exercise the heavy hand of censorship, but I do reserve the right to delete any comment I don't like, for any reason.
