Why not change your name for the PM?

For starters, I'll still be Amanda long after Mr. Luxon leaves NZ for greener pastures. It was a legal name change by deed poll, not just a whim. I pronounce it differently, I might add. It has specific meaning to me. From the man who I'm accusing of using conversion practices on me, I'm not swayed. He won't treat me better; it would be a victory, not a loss. What I'm hoping to teach Luxon is the difference between irritation and distress. He finds my cartoons irritating. I find his threats distressing. All these rich pricks punching down is why AMPP has become a fixture. We're not cowed by their wealth: I speak that lingo fairly well.

When I make threats, there's no team of people following up on them. When the pollies make threats, they have staffers who carry them out. It's not oranges and oranges. It's apples and guns. They're presumed to be truthful people; my druggie friends and I aren't.
