Kiwis are cowed and apathetic and almost devoid of real principles. They're sheep. Promise them a few dollars in the form of lower and middle-class welfare and they'll roll over every time. It's not that they choose to be unprincipled--they're simply not interested and in any case ignorant of anything so abstract. Concepts such as liberty and the rights of the individual take second place to whatever crap is showing on television and the sale that's on at the local warehouse. Paris Hilton's fornicatory habits are far more important than their Prime Minister's integrity, after all. God help us. “Is it a vain hope to suspect that the faster the government takes away our freedom, the sooner New Zealand will realise how much we need said freedom?”
