I used to have a large fallacy .. now I've got frayed collars:

"If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly." G K Chesterton

I've lately been debating with Google's AI Companion on matters of Fact, Science and Philosophy. It's initial responses are often superficial and incorrect .. BUT when challenged - Computer wakes-up and treats you seriously. Intriguing.

When I was a teenager I used to have a really big fallacy ..

Over 600 Fit and Proper NZ People gave-up their NZ Firearms Licence            IN JUNE

My DELUSION: - As a lad I was taught that my teachers and managers, the aristocrats, royalty, and Members of Parliament were decent wise leaders, deserving of my respect and gratitude for looking after me as my "ELDERS AND BETTERS" - this conditioning had been formalised by the Church of England's Shorter Catechism since 1647..

I now know better - indeed it is now well proven that this privileged top-ten scum layer of our "Free Market" (and their enforcers) are greedy selfish, power-seeking criminals who's sole aim in life is to increase their wealth holdings by controlling all economic regulation and media stories.

There is a reason that business revenue is called "The TAKINGS"

So effective is this control that the people of our Western World seem to happily accept it when an analysis by Dutch charity Oxfam Novib reveals that Elon Musk’s wealth as a trillionaire exceeds the combined wealth of the poorest 46% of the Earth's population. 

- This means his net wealth is greater than the total accumulated assets of approximately 3.8 BILLION people combined.

A RIVETING Story ..

- My #1 favorite Dickies SHIRT was fvcked .. have you noticed that your most comfortable shirt ALWAYS wears out, because the spiteful gremlins spend months attacking it? - Anyway the collar was such a frayed disgrace that even I was ashamed to be seen in public, with tatty neck-rags waving about in the breeze. - I can remember my Mum 75 years ago unpicking my Dad's shirt collars and reversing them with the worn surface under - and hand sewing them to the neck of the shirt while listening to the "wireless". 

I gave-up on that thought when I couldn't even thread the needle - BUT a brainwave led me to order a cheap 'leather rivet kit' from AliExpress that let me fold the collar outside-in and rivet it into it's new fashionable design .. if anyone falls about laughing at my garb - I'll tell them that it's a souvenir from a recent trecking holiday in the Himalayas.

Anyway .. when I run out of rags to convert into clothing, I will have a go at gluing and riveting some soft leather into sheaths for knives and even take a look at HOLSTERS or even "Possibles Bags"?.

There is SO much fun to be had eh ..

So .. If 600 decent kiwis surrendered their F.Licences in ONE MONTH of 2026 - how long will it take for only a few hundred decent folk to remain legally licensed gun owners here?

And - for our Agriculture, Forestry and birdlife to suffer disastrous longterm damage from unchecked growth of feral introduced pests?

Are You Fit and Proper? 

Are NZ Police 'FIT AND PROPER PERSONS'? - SEVEN Police Commissioners have retired/resigned in disgrace - The Executive Director of the FIREARMS SAFETY AGENCY The Firearms Register has "retired" - so should we now expect things to improve?

 Immaginative President of NZ Police Association - Detective Inspector CAHILL has "stood down"  AND RETIRED FROM THE POLICE SERVICE ..  

 Police Commissioner CHAMBERS is the EIGHTH Senior Police Administrator subject to investigation. 

- Plus, now Detective Inspector VERRY is under 'employment investigation' as over 50 of his abuse cases are re-opened

THESE are the same people who dictated the rules judging we LAW ABIDING 'FIT AND PROPER' CITIZENS - LAWFULLY LICENSED GUN OWNERS, as CRIMINALS ..

It was Police Failure to properly vet the SCUM Australian killer Tarrant, that preceded him killing 51 innocents in 2019 ..

WHEN will The Coronial Inquiry into the Christchurch Masjidain Attack be completed? 

- In the interest of Public Safety -

FIREARMS LICENCES ESSENTIAL FOR NZ POLICE.
