New Zealand's Weapons of Mass Destruction

"Punishment is justice for the unjust."         St Augustine New Zealand has increased its Weapons of Mass Destruction by 23%.  No, we do not have nuclear weapons or a massive military itching to invade defenceless nations to save them from democracy.  The Labour Coalition Government have hired 23% more civil servants; bureaucrats, government workers, call them what you like, as weapons of mass destruction. New Zealand, a remote island nation of four million people, has three layers of bureaucracy. Central government, regional government and local town councils.  Let's not forget the endless organisations like rabbit boards, clean the drain boards and we serve the people because we get paid so much a meeting, committees. Actually NZ has five million people but one million (20%) live offshore for the money and the exciting lifestyle.  It's not politically correct to mention this, so pretend you haven't read this paragraph. Not only have the bureaucratic numbers increased but their intelligence level has been deliberately reduced. If you're seeking government employment, the secret of success is to act dumb.  The only people hired in recent years are those that will do what they're told without thinking.  Thus, they can be manipulated into hounding the public without considering the logic of their actions.  Also, you're are unlikely to provide a challenge to your supervisor's job.  This makes you an ideal government employee.  However, if you possess commonsense or social conscience, they'll find a way to fire you. As a result, NZ is progressing backwards.  The education system has been downgraded to turn out compliant kids who haven't the nous to ask awkward questions.  The cost of living is soaring because of increasing charges to cover bureaucracy, yet wages are sliding backwards to create profit for business gurus who support government policies.  The old boy club? The media is not censored, they occasionally have moments of weakness and publish reality but are largely compliant to political edicts.  Public opinion is ignored by politicians who have introduced a whole raft of unserviceable legislation merely to justify their existence at public expense.  Indeed, the whole thrust of government is not about providing basic infrastructures to enable society to succeed.  But to exploit the public by stealing as much money as possible.  Laws are created to remove power from the people, and place it in as few hands as possible.  You can guess where the money and power reside.  The freedoms my generation took for granted no longer exist.  Most laws should only be used in an emergency.  Unfortunately, laws are being enforced simply because they exist to make money.  For example, my local council is taking me to court for a dog licence.  They never sent me the bill or reminder notice, so how am I supposed to know when or how much to pay?  According to them, they've followed council procedure and suddenly I am a criminal intent of defrauding them of their bureaucratic right to live comfortably.  If and when I receive the bill without added penalties, I will pay the sum required.  I have no need or wish to cheat anybody.  When I didn't reply to the demands they never sent, would it have hurt them to pick up the telephone?  But I guess that would require commonsense and that's not in the rule book. I'm not afraid of the publicity involved because I have been truthful.  But will the judge see through council incompetence and will honesty do me any good in NZ's rubber stamp justice system?  Seeing that people don't matter, money is more important, why should I offer my life to defend my country from their latest designer terrorist scare?  The politicians and bureaucrats are the terrorists, not me.                  It's election year in NZ.  Sooner or later the day will come and they will pay the price. Besides, a little revolution helps to keep the mindless on the straight and narrow.  But politicians and bureaucrats aren't bright enough to heed the lessons of history.  Mediocrity is the name of their game.  Who else would be that silly? Thank God the Internet exists.  But for how politically long?
