Point me to a whitepaper that you have written? What is your alternative belief? What are you actually criticising?
It's nice to throw questions at someone as a challenge hey? But I'll answer them.
I'm criticising the ridiculous nature of the doco... its poorly researched and paints fiction as fact in a lot of ways.
I have strong beliefs, living around a lot of hippies in my suburb I've found some to have beautiful and well respected opinions and beliefs, but have also found the dole bludging plastic 'alternative' folk to be imbeciles, jumping onto the Kony issue like it was straight up fact, and every other hairbrained scheme that was drawn up by some 'fundraiser' who channels the cash 80% to themselves in 'administrative costs'.
So you'd like me to point you to a whitepaper would you? It's a known fact that people do not produce these individually, but as parts of a group or taskforce alloted the task by TPTB.
In the last 10 years, I was part of a government taskforce in the UK to produce a whitepaper on disability service reform - and was one of the contributing members and policywriters for the Valuing People White Paper, and the subsequent follow-up reviews (Valuing People Now - the 5 year review amongst others), alongside assisting to make self directed support and individualised support budgets a reality by working as a policywriter with both the InControl scheme and various UK disability organisations and lobby groups. I'd say I know a thing or two about that, so don't patronise me with baiting comments.
As for my name, its a random choice, given that I'm a drummer in a number of bands, not a 'hippie' choice at all. As it happens, I've had those plastic hippies I referred to earlier challenge me as a blood drinking, child sacrificing devil-worshipper due to watching David Icke and others' 'work'. Nothing more than the ravings of a madman, and harmful to people who actually contribute to society.
I'm all for respecting opinions, and said my piece, my background was irrelevant until challenged.
Thanks for challenging it though, bet you didn't expect that did you? Reading back through the posts though, it seems your just baiting everyone, rather than using the site's various opinions as a springboard for debate and thus education. Shame that.
