Renton Maclachlan

Renton Maclachlan isn't someone I'd come across before, but apparently he runs what may be the only dedicated Creation radio station in the world, ‘GenesisFM’, (here in New Zealand) and has also stood for Parliament four times . However it isn't in relation to Creationism or Parliament that I came across him the other day. He's put together a fairly lengthy video about the smacking debate that's going on in New Zealand at the moment, and done it as a satire. Apart from its length it's very clever, and often quite funny. Maclachlan takes both parts in the 'interview' as both the earnest interviewer, and the pompous, know-it-all interviewee.

Totally random quote

I just had to copy this passage when I read it, because of the delightful use of words...

After an 'unexpected' mid-life crisis, the author notes: Thus cognitively defocussed and emotionally defused for a number of months by the subsequent bit of deep-deep immersion, I realized I would never last the course of direct experience in the netherworld of love. I also recognized from that bit of dysserindipitous soul-spielunking that I should launch studies of physical attraction, such as studies of beautiful women, the ultimate winners (and losers, it turned out) in the great love selection game.

I'm not sure what 'deep-deep immersion' actually is, but it seems apt for the idea.
