[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7446756, member: 63856"] It's funny how ideas come back around, I was just chatting with a mate on messenger about our funny european ideas... "ownership" of the land, soil Carbon, fertility etc... there to be exploited for the good of the kingdom 'as is our right to do'... as a New Zealander, our indoctrination.. sorry, education.. was that the Maori just signed it all over for a few trinkets and blankets because they were stupid savages in fact, they were clever because they knew the treasure they "sold" wasn't really anybodies to sell, and merely capitalised on the generosity of the white folks with the nice stuff. "Yeah bro, the country's all yours" because you can't take it with you. What they didn't realise was it was possible to take the landscape and send it to the other side of the world on sailing ships.. I wonder if they would have signed their future away if they had had that perspective, possibly and no use to us now either way because it's gone Almost funny to see how indignant NZ's farmers are now that their modification of the landscape to supercharge the production of exportable commodity is being questioned, they're adopting the "feeding the world" and "backbone of the economy" phrases with increasing regularity but it really boils down to "it's really all we know how to do". Just like the UN, "let's destroy it all over again and Build Back Better", you can see who listens to the UN diktat because your "leader" and "ours" both used that one If only they would have had the perspective that they HAD a carbon neutral economy and destroyed it with fire and sheep and rabbits and deer... now they want to destroy that again and use another imported species instead of what is adapted to do the job here We had a bird, bat, insect and eel biome, proven to work well in NZ conditions. Sheep... well, not so much "You can't fix a problem with the same thinking that created it" said Einstein but it's natural to repeat the mistakes of the past [/QUOTE]
