But its election year and I get the feeling Catgurl13's comment is a set up designed to elicit a desired response to stimulate debate.<br />My antenna started to vibrate when I read Catgurl13 proclaiming "makes me so mad but I cant say anything since she told me not to." <br /><br />Back in the 1970's when i was living in Upper Hutt I was friendly with a chap who was the local Social Credit candidate in the 1975 election. <br />He would write semi literate letters to the local paper bad mouthing the Social Credit Party and its policy of "Funny Money." He would sign the letter with the sobriquet " Old Digger."<br />My friend then replied to "Old Digger" and pointed out the errors in the old soldiers thinking.<br />People thought my friend was most courteous and helpful to the arm chair Anzac and I'm sure this tactic won him votes. <br />My wife suggests I'm just bored and need a new hobby.Mark Wahlberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959889940311304180noreply@blogger.com
