    Gaily New Zealand

    Far be it from me to disturb the equanimity of Americans by extolling the comparative virtues of the country from whence I, fortunately, come.

    But some things cannot be left unsaid.

    While the US wallows in corporate elitist politics and government, we here are blessed with a political system that:

    1. Is not fed by corporate money
    2. Represents, pretty fairly, the views and interest of all New Zealanders.
    3. Is not subject to the mind-boggling cretinism of candidates on the campaign trail.
    4. Gets stuff done without hurtling towards fiscal cliffs and suchlike.

    I apologise.

    Holy cow I finally got you to respond to a message about NZ...stop the presses.

    That video was meant as a sign of respect...not for you, but for them.

    You will all have to excuse me while I go watch the All Blacks destroy Australia.

    Nothing personal.

    I have yet to meet anybody who has visited and had a bad thing to say .
    But your effing All Blacks can and will be beaten .
    There is a building renaissance in both Wales and England and it represents the hugest challenge you have yet faced -- possibly this coming year but most definitely the year after .
    That will be something to watch -- Oz Land is going through a bad period --- Rugby , Cricket , Olympics .

    Of course they will be beaten. But, despite having 6x our playing population and a zillionx our funding, not by England.
