Feel like a number

C4 has had the Top 40 Rock Icons of the 80s on and it's been a blast. Ya know ya did a good job edumacating ya kids when as teens they love the music you rocked to long before they were even thought of.

Yay us!

Not everyone teaches their kids cool stuff. Some do it completely differently.

"Brodie Christopher Barry Te Waaka-Price turns eight weeks old today.

His head lolls on a limp baby neck because he cannot control his movement; he is probably blind and he cries in an alien squeal.

Twenty-five per cent of his brain does not work and he will not live a normal life.

Two large black holes on a brain scan show the parts of him that died when he was shaken on October 24...

Brodie's mother Kelly is still supporting Te Waaka and was hoping to visit him in jail this weekend.

Brodie's grandmother Tracy Savage says Brodie was lucky to survive."


This is lucky?

Quality...quantity... what a choice. I suppose it wouldn't be very politically correct to mention prolonging someone's misery at the taxpayer's expense. If only it were that simple, just columns of numbers on a sheet. Until you think of morality, spirituality, humanity; it's not so black and white then.

The important things never are.
