In 1914 it took 20 to 30 days to travel from Auckland to London – even longer if you were in the benighted West Islands
Now, just over a day.
In just over a century, the world has shrunk.
And we generally just take that progress for granted, don’t we.

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.
