    OK. When we are overrun by creatures that don't exist, we'll ask for your help.

    I know there are smarter Americans out there. I have watched American Dad and read the Onion.

    Would that those here were not so easily peeled.

    Did you know that NZ has dozens of oil fields off its coasts? Norway and Scotland became rich with their oil fields. We have the same potential.

    But do we want it? We are already a reasonably wealthy country. Why would we want more riches?

    But perhaps the Chinese could persuade us?

    Looks as though we are gaily better-educated than most - according to the Economist Intelligence Unit. NZ comes 8th in world rankings. The US 17th. http://thelearningcurve.pearson.com/the-report

    And we seem to have the highest number of students going on to tertiary education.

    Mind you, we need that. Thousands of these well-educated people flit off to prop up the economies of Australia, the UK, US and others.

    I know you will want to keep up with a world premiere that is not in Hollywood, Peter 1469.

    I don't follow Hollywood. Thanks for the link!

    I have seen two movies in the theater in the last 10 years. This will be #3.

    I saw The Thin Red Line in Manhattan back in 1998.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    The US ranking is impacted negatively by our celebrated diversity and Kiwis leave because there are not enough opportunities at home.
