This thread was created too offer our condolences, attacking what Rod stood for or who he worked with (even if you don't agree with him) hardly seems like the decent or respectful thing to do. |

| 402330 | 2005-11-06 08:39:00 | well he [Nandor] is next on the bloody party list, You would think with him being a pot smoker, he would have more chance of a heart attack... Maybe pots not bad for you after all :confused:Nandor freely admits to being an occational pot smoker, and not when working, ie being an MP. This would do less damage than say living in a smoggy town, such as Christchurch. More condusive to a heart attack would be the day to day stress of political life. |

Didn't see anything about condolences in the heading? Nobody has attacked Rod, what he stood for or who he worked with. |

I have nothing against pot smokers or Nandor, but what he freely admits to doing and what he actually does outside of the public eye are two different things. Would he pass a employer enforced drug test? |

Would he pass a employer enforced drug test?Probably. I've known people who smoked within 24 hours, and then drunk heaps of water and vitamin C... PAss! If Nandor was a heavy smoker, then he'd not be up to doing his job, and the media could have turned him into a circus act for our amusment. Anyway, Nandors probably going to be back in the political arena, but promotion because of the death of one higher up the ladder is a rather unfortunate way to get back in the hornets nest. |

Nobody has attacked Rod, what he stood for or who he worked with.At any rate, everyone who dies will either be mourned or celebrated. He chose to enter politics, to live his life as a Green, hippy type. He also elected to try and force his lifestyle choices onto others by taking a role in government to run his own agenda alongside of that of the parties. His reputation was made himself, it sticks with him even in death. |

I thought that was the case........ I also see in the papaer today mention of Rod being fit, a non-smoker, non-drinker, enjoyed running and swimming. Fat lot of good it did him. |
