I don’t hold much hope for it, but I’ve signed it anyway. Every little bit counts in my opinion, and while this may be completely ignored something needs to be done.

Banana Republic An Absolute.
Oct 18th
Labour is quick to point out that National hasn’t paid back the GST from their election campaign… Heres something to consider… National tried to get law changed to make it LEGAL for them to pay back the GST owing from their campaign. Labour is changing the law to make it LEGAL for them to NOT…

Oh dear. So very, very, true. ;-) Be afraid people. :-) Your Sloth Quotient: 80% You’re a pretty lazy person, and you relish in your own sloth. While being lazy does feel good, you’re missing out on the really good parts of life that take a little work. How Much Sloth Do You Have? Continuing…
Mr C of CO – Please Read
Oct 14th
Everyone can ignore this. Its aimed at a single person in Colorado. He knows who he is. While I, and my advertisers, appreciate you improving the hit stats on this site, don’t you think enough is enough already? Why do you persistently come back here over and over? Do you think I don’t notice that…
Envy
Oct 12th
Not sure I entirely agree with this result ;-) Your Envy Quotient: 19% Envious? You? No way! You’re happy with what you’ve got going on, and what someone else has doesn’t change that. When people succeed, you are happy for them. You know you’ll get yours eventually! How Much Envy Do You Have?

Now Sun Microsystems comes to Second Life
Oct 8th
I was out for coffee with Scott tonight and he mentioned that he thinks I’m crazy for spending so much time in Second Life. Well, everyone kind thinks I’m crazy anyway, but Second Life has really started to become a rather significant passion for me. Not just because of all the interaction it generates, or…
