Hi Maurice Winn; Re racial purity and all that. It's a normal human attitude to have a "holier than thou" attitude towards other humans, but to have to hear comments about other nation's attempts at racial purity from a country that is famous for its own racial purity is a bit much. It's somewhere between hearing the Pope give a lecture on sex, and listening to a rich man insulting the middle classes' work ethic. Race problems are hard, and I doubt that the people from, for instance, Iceland, have much in the way of useful ideas about the subject. The United States had slaves when it was a colony of Great Britain. If New Zealand had been colonized at the same time, and if it had crops that were suitable for slave labor, Great Britain would undoubtedly have used slaves there as well, and New Zealand would likely have ended up with a race issue. -- Carl P.S. NZ isn't new to the game of keeping the race pure. This goes back 100 years at least: stevenyoung.co.nz
