Public Jerked Off

Public Jerked Off

Sir,

A comedy, a verbal orgasm or an S.G.M.! which? It took some working out for a member of an ignorant public but I finally got the idea.

It was amazing that so many could be led by so few. It is also amazing that the so-called intellectual elite of young N.Z. could display such complete lack of all rational thought and control.

If anyone can tell me that any rational decision could have been made or majority opinion expressed I should laugh in their face. The only acheivement was mayhem! and utter pandemonium.

I would suggest that students take a cold bath and a good long look at themselves before voicing any opinion on any other matter at all.

I would suggest that some form of control be exercised over persistent interjectors of such important meetings as an S.G.M. When a dog gets that excited he usually gets shot.

You can't hope for a public hearing or any support at all in your aims, when you can't even agree among yourselves, and after all, in public opinion lies the only weight you carry. As you en masse could be our mind, so we are your only voice.

A disgusted public member.
