Dickyamics (as I call them) are crawling out of every nook and cranny to tell us how we should be thinking about almost everything. Just listen to World Watch on RNZ National (weekdays at 1343 or thereabouts). When something newsworthy (cough) happens, “here’s a dickyamic”. As often as not they’re from an Australian university, and lecture in Social Awareness, Peace Studies, or similar. And wow, do they know it all!<br /><br />So, Karl, the fact that you didn’t happen to mention an event far removed from what you were actually on about, should not concern you one iota. Your critic will go back to her blinkered and self righteous existence, and no damage done.hughvanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655840089502084282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-34569801721604374112019-08-15T14:15:19.745+12:002019-08-15T14:15:19.745+12:00This post made me smile and even laugh a bit.

As far as I'm concerned an academic has no more right to opinion than anyone else. One might argue that the opinion of those who are coddled their whole life by the education sector might have less to contribute to a discussion than someone who has lived and worked in the real world - but not I. Let them prattle on in their self absorbed moral vacuum, as is their right.MarkJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314482965326084742noreply@blogger.com
