This surely must be the age of words. Every day, non-stop, life's happenings are shredded and told to the world in reports, reviews and commentaries galore. So it is fun to read the Rogers Rabbits page where topical issues are presented with clever humour. Happily, the well-written and serious opinion piece about freedom of speech on August 10 was well within the spectrum of standards set for free speech in NZ. (There are limits).

But we missed the laughs in this sad treatise, and how many readers would persevere to the end of three columns of umbrage, like a flat bandwagon?

So come on Rogers, pull up your socks and treat us to more words from that rare talent we enjoy.
