Which ones TJ? <maoris, are they happy as they can be?> Most people are not at their peak of happiness at any particular time. But, if you measure happiness, you will find that people using CDMA-propelled cyberphones are much happier on average than others who are not using them. I mean actually in the midst of sending electronics through the QUALCOMM ASIC and antenna pushing phragmented photons into the aether. Most Maoris are now using CDMA, so I think a lot of them are now at their peak happiness performance quite frequently. There are a LOT more Maoris and they are a LOT better off than 200 years ago when living at the top of a mountain waiting for the next attack by mere wielding opponents bent on dinner. They made the right decision when they got the English to set up shop in their vicinity. Those countries in New Zealand which were not so gung ho with the English were not as well off as those who were. Which is why so many were keen to sign up to Te Tiriti to become British subjects. It was a lot better than being subject to the untender mercies of conquerors from neighbouring countries. Note that countries then were much smaller than now, with many countries in New Zealand alone. Those countries were constantly conducting genocidal warfare against each other. Since they signed up to Te Tiriti, there have been relatively negligible wars and no wars of genocide, though the Morioris on the Chatham Islands continued to suffer depredations of their invaders from Taranaki [another country in New Zealand at the time]. Your racial prejudices are perhaps getting you confused. " until your lot are punished ..." Your lot? Do you mean me in particular and my children or perhaps some other "lot" of which I'm presumably a member. Mqurice
