From The Floor

The mixed bag of speakers from the floor contributed a confusion of ideas, concentrating first on moron. Peter Hogg contended that morons were produced biologically—not through development. O'Brien had something profound to say, "Some morons conform some don't."

Floor speakers were soon sailing happily away on quite another tack.

Butler: New Zealand has a conforming society … thought is becoming embarrassing.

Voice A: What is this debate on?

Voice B: The rocks, well and truly!

And so it was. —J.W.B.
