Being a guy and taking a girl out to dinner is one of the best things. They get super dressed up / look gorgeous and their hair is always perfect. You get to eat good food and have a few cocktails and get to know someone. Nothing boring … especially if you live in a tier 1 city.

As an Abundance bro, there is no Abundance without law and order. We simply have to arrest and prosecute. As for the crazies, we need to have some difficult conversations about bringing back mental institutions of the size and magnitude of that we had in the 20th century.

I think I've mentioned before that NZ dodged a bullet when the incoming coalition ditched Labour's policy of banning cigarettes containing nicotine. Yesterday's Australian. This is what happens when you hand the tobacco market over to the illicit trade.
