New Zealand Conservative

Getting to be old news now , but a high court in New Zealand has upheld the right to go jogging nude in a case involving a naked man who was arrested by police in a forest in the morning. He scared the willies out of a lady who happened to be walking in the forest, and thought perhaps the man might be insane as well as naked, and that would not be a great combo. But the judge thinks it is alright. I guess the next time a man turns up in the backyard of a neighbour with their 6 year old daughter, he can simply claim he was out jogging? But this win is fantastic for my wife, who likes biking without wearing a helmet. The next time she is arrested for riding the bike with a nude head, it's off to the High Court we go, because she can plead that she is a "head naturalist" and declines to wear such items in public places. Sure, you can argue about the need for safety, but don't you tell me a naked man jogging near gorse is a safe activity.

Joseph Kony is a very very bad man who has caused a great many deaths and much human misery over the past thirty years. A viral video has bought him to predominance in the past twenty four hours or so. Awareness has been raised , as they say. But of course raised awareness™   will do absolutely nothing to catch the man who is apparently holed up somewhere in a remote and isolated part the Congo or is it a remote and isolated part of the Southern Sudan, who knows. You can make yourself feel better about it all by watching a viral video and perhaps buying a $30 bracelet you can wear to show how much you care. And if you are a celebrity you can raise awareness™   by tweeting a topless photo of yourself .
