Like any political leader Helen Clark is the moderate face of the organisation. It is the common mind that is of most concern, and in this case the seriously sick people are in the back room. Sad for one young women who got close enough to hear these people think aloud. Her response – I’m leaving this country and I’m never coming back. The maturity of this bright young mind is a saving grace for the individual, but sadly for our country, there goes another of our brightest and our best.
It has been the experience of some men to leave – an act of self preservation, of some men to die – an act of desperation, of some men to capitulate – an act of self interest, of some men to retaliate – an act of righteous indignation, of some men to observe – an act of apathy, of some men to accept – an act of resignation, and of some men to resist the advance of copybook fascism, but there is a glimmer of hope for our society when we see that women are beginning to understand this insanity.
Lets hope amongst those bright young minds there is a new generation of women who have better a understanding of what is required to maintain a successful society.
Regardless of gender, leadership of totalitarian thuggery always ends in misery and suffering.
Yes, we can only hope the next generation will do better than this. However, given the fact I have to deal with a primary school teacher, who is very abusive, hates males, feels there is no place for fathers in a childs life and attempts to kidnap a child. I only wonder what she is infact passing on to her class room children’s very minds? The malicoius issues have required police attention. She even refused to tell the father where the child was going to school! The psychological abuse inflicted on the child by this teacher is unreal…’mum said dad dosent love me’…mum said to hate him….mum said dads a loser. hmmmmmm I only hope that the children want take on board to much of this teachers role modeling!!!

Hey Bevan,
That’s a first.
Why would she want to leave all that female entitlement behind?
What was the issue she left over?
I’m intrigued.

It was a combination of personal values and a fear of what was on the drawing board. Not everyone subscribes to the dictum of go with the flow, but they don’t necessarily feel able to swim against the tide either. Many people deserted Germany pre WW2 for the same reason.

Neither do I, but those that came to NZ, got locked up on Sommes Island in Wellington Harbour for their trouble.
