Anachronistic Neoliberal Missive

Anachronistic Neoliberal Missive

Your Eminence,

I must apologise for last week's letter - it was a bit turgid. My only excuse is that I was trying to goad the feminists into communicating. Seeing they're not interested I'll drop the whole subject. Meanwhile in final reply to Graham I would suggest he start a eunuchs' club so he doesn't have to oppress women, that way women could be women and men could be eunuchs so men wouldn't have to be oppressors. Neat eh!

If I understood it correctly your dear sister's column "Crisis, what crisis" was a wonderful dig at these silly guilt ridden marxists. If it wasn't it was too obscure. I'm sure that throughout all New Zealand campuses there is a new wave of anti-guilt oppression feeling that will soon topple that anachronistic movement. The only residue will be with the "feminists" to whom rationality apparently does not apply anyway.

Finally in reply to Oscar Wilde - what on earth was all that about?

and now some questions that puzzle my wee brain that your readers may be able to shed some light on.

1.What is the point in having the STB office (a) on campus when it has a perfectly good building downtown, (b) at all (seeing it duplicates existing services and who can afford to travel anyway)?
2.What does NZUSA do that couldn't be done by bigger campus execs and a larger telephone budget?
3.Why do the Irish want political status when they never attack in uniform etc. anyway surely they could be executed?
4.Will Salient keep its nice two tone effect?

luv,

Peter
