<<John, do you think stoning to death is a good idea?>> Hi, Maurice For sure is cheaper than a lethal injection from the economic point of view which is always looking to achieve the goals with minimum costs. The death is a death, important is to preserve the nation or the tribe. Looks like muslims are much smarter than their South African cousins decimated by AIDS. Since there is still no cure for this disease and prevention might not work, looks for me that no matter how cruel it might look, sacrifice of the individual is justified for the good of the remaining population. "Civilized world" is doing absolutely nothing to stop the spread of AIDS in Africa. Btw, muslim world have the lowest rate of HIV infections. marek

Hi Maurice, It's happening to us as you read this. More arrivals in the airport... I have been contemplating relocating elsewhere myself. Tell me, is the airport in New Zealand on the modern side? Do they allow soliciting funds for charitable purposes? Some other questions as well... Do the Kiwis have subsidized housing? If so, are modern amenities included in the subsidies, such as (but not restricted to) color television, cable, washer/dryer, dishwasher, perhaps satellite television? Does New Zealand have a program for social support of the non-wealthy residents? Any social programs such as free medical and dental care? How pricey is the price of beer? From what you've told me so far about New Zealand, I'd move there in a minute, but I need to be sure about the subsidies and social aid that I would be eligible for once I got there. Thanks...
