Good Morning New Zealand - a great day to celebrate each other, the country we live in, the communities we surround ourselves in and the journey that has brought us all here today! I'm a firm believer we (humans) are all inherently geared towards promoting our individual rights, yet many of the general populace are too scared to express those opinions openly or with conviction for fear of being 'othered' from a society that has been openly nudged toward collectivism ...... fear is such a great tool for control. Off to volunteer at the Rongotea Lions Club gala today with my family in tow, hard to beat a great day out with friends, neighbours and family. I hope you all enjoy however you choose to spend your day today. Kia-ora !!
So long as critical theory holds sway in all our institutions many, if not most of us, will be too timid to put our heads above the parapet. I found out first hand what the experience of being 'othered' was like when I did not get the covid jab for extremely good medical reasons. When Hillary Barry opined on TV "Who are these feral people who won't get vaccinated?" I had a visceral response and as the saga unfolded that was only the first of many incidents. So you're right, collectivism is a powerful tool for control.
And remembering Big Norm Kirk who declared this day be a nationwide day of unity 55 years ago. The fact that my wedding was celebrated 6 Feb 1971 is coincidental
The thought of any left-wing coalition being in power and the full flowering of He Puapua in all its 'glory' makes my blood run cold. If I were younger I might seriously consider emigrating! Problem would be, to whence??
