Team.
For 9 years from the late 90's NZ had a left wing guvmint that played nana state and was happy to tell us all how to live and run our lives. The leader of that is now 3rd most powerful in the UN so nuff said there.... Anyways, that administration spent nine years absolving the entire nation of any personal responsibility. "It's not my fault". "Can't someone else pay?" "Why can't the guvmint fix this".
To my dismay, today I see THIS (http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/christchurch-earthquake/7505852/Life-about-to-change-for-quake-uninsured) article about the guy who was uninsured at the time of the quake and is just getting on with life and accepting his lot and that he has to stand on his own two feet. Unbelievable in this day and age as there were quite a few uninsured folk who have suffered full home loss and I will wager most have been bleating and expecting bailing out.
Perhaps personal reasponsibility is not dead after all.
