...will not be taken by larger fish or birds. Regarding the "poisoning the trout in its lakes and rivers" statement, it is true that the government has introduced the nem:ba Act, in which the Federation of Southern African Flyfishers has been involved on a consultative basis. A pilot scheme has been put in place on an 18-km stretch of a trout stream in the Western Cape in this regard.

...mouths are bloody because we’re so angry about those Yalies coming to our turf Saturday. [1] Also because we’ve been chewing on nails. They’re going to bring their boomboxes and obese dogs, and they probably have some sort of scheme to shut down our Student Union.

Over the decades, the Palestinian leadership has urged Arabs to boycott municipal elections, claiming that it would validate Israel's "illegal" claim to the city. But the city's Arabs lose everything by refusing to vote. Without anyone lobbying for them on the city council, Arabs receive just one-tenth of municipal services - they have fewer schools, clinics, playgrounds and road repair - despite paying taxes...
