It's only weather. Unlike Kiwis, we don't regard a bit of wind and flooding as Armageddon. After all, we've had a while to get used to it. ;) We can simply pick up our rubbish and dispose of it--you lot elect it to rule over you.
Careful KG when talking about rubbish rulers. I could name a few times the Ozzies have made kiwi-scale mistakes at the ballot box, starting with Fanta Pants, KRudd gets a Special Mention, Keating anyone?
Granted, nobody quite so blatantly communist and corrupt (apologies for tautology) as Klarkula, but I think I've made my point.
True, GG.:( You know, it's only since the advent of mass media that a big has been made of floods and droughts. Third-rate journos have managed to convince people that fairly ordinary weather events are the end of the world and a lot of fools are sucked in by it. In the past, people simply endured, rebuilt and got on with their lives.
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
