"We should hold a national golden jubilee for the half century that has passed since the last time we received more from overseas than we spent: 1973. Same year the Watergate hearings began in the US, Norm Kirk was prime minister and colour TV arrived in New Zealand.
    "We’ve been losing ground for a long time....

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.
