i used to think at least ex-British colonies were left in a better state once finally surrendered to independence (more physical and governmental infrastructure, less endemic corruption), but i think that's not so clear now. certainly both the British and the French haven't always been the best to their colonial subjects but i think there are probably worse still.
singling France out for demonization is just more of the present Anglo-American foreign policies de jour, and long standing but often uninspected anti-French prejudice common in NZ thanks to a predominantly British colonial history.
at least the French tend to judge Frenchness by how well you speak the language rather than the colour of your skin. -
that was good Craig, you came across really well.
it's a shame both politicians sqandered that opportunity to say much interesting about their real tastes. -
i agree both Mayor Wood and Mainland China have nothing to say about anything that relates to domestic affairs in NZ

here are some links to EMF and ELF research portals, a metastudy including NZ reseach and a US site with a general overview.
they all seem to be from an anti stance. it seems health effects are diverse, which is not unusual for chronic exposure to low level toxins, but the diversity of cited effects makes it more difficult to clearly identify a causal relationship. i expect power companys in the US at least would've been prime targets for large law suits if clear effects could be shown and i'm not sure many such suits have been successful.
you might say that just being chronically exposed to something thats oppressively ugly or gives you the creeps can have similar health effects, but i don't know. i think they look amazing but i wouldn't want to live under one.
