We
are so badly served by every current MP in the New Zealand Fortress of
Legislation. This post links directly to my last, because when MP’s
choose to self-censor themselves, then issues that are important cannot be debated
in the only place were law-making can be enacted around the discussion. And
that means such issues, in this case, our basic freedoms, are forbidden us.
I’ll
start this post by going back a few months to when I told MP Peter Dunne,
infamous instigator of one of the most heinous Acts I’ve seen – after every tax
act – that I would never let up hounding him over the Psychoactive Substances
Act (PSA) which has legalised psychosis forming, artificial, toxic crud, and
created the barbaric principle that animals can be tested – tortured – for what
amounts to only our recreation, when a harmless, medicinal even, alternative
exists in cannabis which remains criminalised; (and I note there still looks to be animal testing under the PSA coming out of the special committee overseeing
the public protest against that). Not once has Dunne ever responded to
me; as happened again this morning:
I have asked MOH to do this, in line with provisions of new law: Doctors enlisted to ban legal highs http://t.co/cLGm0bRgUJ

@PeterDunneMP Answer just once y u legalise psychosis forming poison while criminalising non-toxic, medicinal #cannabis 1/2

@PeterDunneMP And what are results from special committee on animal testing under PSA? Re Mojo still looking likely.

Response?
Nothing. And this now all begs a more ominous phenomenon coming out of the
Fortress of Legislation, confirming not only Labour MP Maryann Street’s
statement to this blogger that MP’s weren’t adult enough to discuss euthanasia
in an election year, but they’re too immature to discuss issues that
provide our basic freedoms at all. Our MP’s remain experts only on legislation
that takes those freedoms away from us – proof? Read this blog.
One of biggest impediments regarding NZ's #suicide problem has been the official, childish policy of silence. This has shut down debate 1/x

@MarkHubbard33 Over my dealings with MP's on PSA not only have none reasoned y they will not look at legalising non-toxic #Cannabis 2/x
— Mark Hubbard (@MarkHubbard33) April 12, 2014
@MarkHubbard33 Not a single MP has been able to bring themselves to even write the word 'cannabis'. Join the dots #KindyOfACountry 3/3

@MarkHubbard33 I've just come from a week in Denver. Very civil after legalization. Locals happy. Crime (anecdotally) down. NZ must follow

@greigmcgill Unfortunately there r apparently no adults in Fortress of Legislation up to debating such a grown up issue. Same #euthanasia

In
his reply to me, Minister Todd McClay, current minister overseeing the toxic
PSA, studiously avoided mentioning or referring to all of my logical points in
favour of cannabis over the PSA, childishly answering my post by trying to
ignore every reference to this, and concentrating only of the fluff stuff, and
animal testing concerns.
For
the MP’s, don’t panic: uttering the word ‘suicide’ isn’t magic or mystical,
people won’t rush to the act because you’ve spoken it. In a movement starting
with the Enlightenment, we use reason now. Same with cannabis and euthanasia.
Indeed nothing beats open, un-censored adult discussion of all problems, real
and perceived, and those basic freedoms such as the three dealt with in this
post, which despite being no purview of the Fortress in a free land, we must
prostrate ourselves sycophantically in front of our masters to be allowed.
I
note a series of MSM and blog posts against monarchy this morning, given Kate
and William’s current tour: afraid I just can’t get excited about that when a
bunch of power enabled babies are running my life from Wellington.
From
our institutions up, there needs to be a Western Spring: let’s start by paring
the size of government back to the civilising Westminster Principle.
