Re: Radical Youth Hui in Auckland (Jan 07)
Great to se this sort of thing being organised. Hope there is a free flow of ideas and the attendees are not prescribed to. It would be good to se some debate on how to halt the steady erosion of youth rights, particularly in the areas of driver licensing and alcohol. For discussion could be the point that alcohol perhaps needs to be restricted across all age groups and not just young people. How will taking a driving licence off a 15 year old girl stop an 18-25 year old male hoon from driving like a lunatic. The bicycle helmet law is almost universally resented by youngsters and is another example of a petty and flawed rule that is both hated and does not achieve what is intended. Youngsters dont want to be wrapped in more and more cotton wool. They also dont want to have statistics slanted to support more rules restricting them. Honesty is required. Anyway that is my tuppence worth so attend and enjoy!

capitalism is based on the exploitation of workers, migrants, women, animals and environment for the sake of concentrating wealth in the hands of the few. capitalism is for capitalists. let's have a world which works for everyone!
