Standing on the outside Looking In
Our Cousins from across the ditch probably have a better understanding of the Sorry Industry than we over here. They have had many years and spent much much on their problems.
Here is Sus’s take on our national day of grovelling.
13/02/08 — Kevin Rudd’s Apology.
I didn’t think there could be anything that rivalled media wetness over Sir Ed’s death. I was wrong.
* Are today’s Germans supposed to apologise for Hitler’s misdeeds?
* Are today’s Russians supposed to apologise for the horrors of communism?
* And as for the Brits, Jeez. It’ll take them years to grovel when you consider Irish and Indian history alone!
If it’s wet and sanctimonious, you can count on politicians to milk it and the media to breathlessly report it.
Unrelated issue but does it scare you to find a Kiwi that can think rationally? Bit like watching a dog drive a car, you are excited by it, but never expect it could happen.
