i suppose i will have to explain, at the risk of cynical ranting
New Zealand is going through a re-branding process, to select a new flag. the hype is relentless, trying to make everybody feel included so we own whatever symbol is selected. how democratic.
and yet our government is dying to sign up to the Trans -Pacific Partnership... trade agreements written by multinational lobbyists in secret. even our finance minister says he cant comment until its signed because he hasnt seen it, let alone us....how undemocratic
Stunning in your interpretation, and, with a litany of problems of our own, I feel your pain! I'm quite sure we both love our countries...it's just the "folks in charge" that seem to muck it up seven ways from Sunday!
