David, we are hardly into Wild West Libertarianz rulz. John Key will run a much more production-focused society then the envy-based kleptocratic bureaucracy of Helengrad, but it is still very much a Big Brother enterprise with citizen-serfs. He is planning on being prime minister for a dozen years I guess, so he will take it easy on making changes. He might make it 15 years [5 terms] if he plays his cards right. He would be in his mid 60s, which is hardly elderly. I'm happier but far from happy. We'll find out in the next several days whether Act gets some agreement to some serious improvements [such as ditching the Emissions Trading Act which was inflicted on NZ in the dying days of the environmentally and economically ignorant]. Avoiding doing something stupid is good, but that's not doing something good which is the way things should be going. Making citizens literally owners of the country's assets by way of tradable citizenship would be something to really get excited about. Exterminating violent criminals by turning them into organ donors would be a good thing [that would save 5 good lives and stop the costs of the bad life]. That would provide incentive to criminals to behave themselves, save a LOT of costs in legal and imprisonment and create a lot of value for those wanting to buy organs. Criminals could become a profit centre instead of cost centre. Crime would pay!! It would pay the community instead of the criminal. It would also be good to stop producing criminals [the state's welfare system is the incentive for the production line] and stop producing sick people needing organ donors. Mqurice
