I happened to be looking at our logs (weird malformed URLs which 404 *shrug*) and noticed our search terms listing, odd as usual, so here are some of my favourites from the last week:
- objectivism and harry potter
- should women only use provacation as a defence
- werewolf ian wishert – 5 hits, really!
- who is matthew hooton
- why is new zealand racist sexist and homophobic
- Latin America progressive forces on the decline
- tumeke bro
- herald mental illness 2009
- mutual exploitation model of the media
- social movement unionism
- what will happen if there’s no intellectual property
- taliban negotiating table afghanistan mission territories
and finally, the ever present reminder of this post:
- pink

I like this for a bit of objectivist humour How to succeed as an Ayn Rand Character
Hi KP .. funnily enough, I wrote an article for ‘The Free Radical’, (can I mention that mag here?!), two years ago on HP, being a huge fan, myself.
There are certainly parallels with freedom versus state interference/oppression.
Cheers!
Sus,
You’re welcome to mention it – in fact a link to the article would also be very welcome!
