>>If not holding US$, what would I own instead and how secure would that ownership be in the face of eminent domain and kleptocracy on the rampage?<<

>>" ...give it to Helen Clark to distribute to hordes of bludgers which she thinks makes NZ a better place, but if that's true, why are so many fleeing? "<<

Where oh where are they going...are they all part of the NZ Olympic team rushing to Beijing and asking for asylum when the games are over?...moving to Zimbabwe to farm?...to Canada for national health, work in the oil sands pits and for the weather?...to the US and Cleveland for foreclosed housing deals?...to Wall Street for jobs creating exotic but very safe financial derivatives?...to Detroit for the big jobs in the auto business, preferably at Chrysler?...to Bangalore, Baghdad, Khandahar, the Afghan/Pakistan border, Israel or the West Bank for peace and quiet?...

Where oh where are they fleeing from Helen Clark and the NZ anarchy???
