Ever get that feeling? > Fortunately, there are 747s and 380s so it's not far and not too expensive. The good thing about the distance is that Islamic Jihad and the Germans can't just march over the border. Unfortunately, our dopey government and arrogant people think they can bring in swarms of Moslems and that they'll magically turn into happy little Kiwis, leaving behind their waco ideas of murder and repression. The arrogant Kiwis presumptuously assume that everyone wants to be like them because they think themselves so wonderful. Just as the English arrived here and proceeded to turn the place into little England, totally different from the cannibalistic tribal way of life of Maoris, the Moslems will do the same. So will the Chinese who are also rapidly gaining ground. Maoris didn't sign up with France, China or Islamic Jihad. They liked the English habeas corpus, trading opportunities and the money and goods they could get for swathes of useless land. I think Maoris should have more say in who gets to come to NZ as they were the treaty partner and the British abrogated the treaty having lied that we were all one people [meaning British], quitting to join the European Community. Also, tradable citizenships should be sold at auction, not given away to Islamic Jihad "refugees", or Chinese liars who pretend to have investment funds. Email received today from London: <A protest of up to 50,000 Muslims is planned for February 18 in London, over the cartoons. People are going mad over it. It's so crazy. Christians have had God and popes ridiculed in cartoons etc.. for years, but at least they don't burn buildings down when it happens. Did you see/read that that Hamza guy (preacher at a Mosque in West London) who just got sentenced to 7 years in jail for inciting hatred etc...lives in a council house, fully paid for by the tax payer in a nice area of London - I think it was valued at upwards of £500,000, and has eight children, all of whom are supported by the state, totalling £680 pounds a week in benefits. They were calling for his benefits to be retracted, but everything's under his wife's name, and she has committed no crime, so they will continue to receive everything. And I'm not allowed to come and work and pay taxes. It's a strange world. > No, I don't feel cut off. Mqurice PS: Now that Auckland is worth a fortune, Maoris think they sold it too cheaply and want to own Auckland. It was a swampy creek when they sold it.
