I want to say thank you Sapphi, for the detailed analysis. It also emphasis we are being manipulated with deliberate intent using behavioural psychology techniques to modify our behaviour. If we are not even partially conscious of the techniques employed we will respond as programmed - we are in an age where there is an infinite ability to promote misinformation and deliberate untruths eliciting a designed response. We do need to openly discuss all such topics and politics to enable a conscious and informed opinion. The effect has been demonstrated with our last election results and the USA election results - logic has been completely overshadowed by simple phrasing sound bites that has no underling logic or truth. Simple solutions will not produce a required effect. A cellphone ban will not fix education limitations, faster speeds will not increase productivity, banning sex education will not help our kids anguish - the list goes on...

Do you ever wonder why the large majority of thinking NZers don't agree with your views?

Are really happy in your ignorance Mobley? At least the majority if NZers do have some understanding and strong opinion, as has been demonstrated with the recent hikoi.
