Thanks for a fascinating commentary on New Zealand politics as to the basics of how the system works. I'm going to listen to it again to learn more. And I hope you'll forgive me if it was interactions with me that provided you with all the stereotypes of what it's like to converse with a typical 'murican. I know stereotypes exist for a reason, but sometimes I'm baffled to learn that Americans apparently have a penchant for saying-whatever's-on-their-mind-and-not-caring-what-anyone-else-thinks. That might be what some of our politicians do... but I'd have to say most people I know in my personal life don't operate this way. But I've also noticed that all it takes is a very vocal minority to make a very big stink in just about anything. Hence - stereotypes.
It wasn't you that made me form that opinion atoll. But take Eustace as an example - he'd post on Facebook just what was on his mind, regardless of whether it might upset others or not. And I'm not even suggesting that is a bad thing, I'm simply pointing out that it's not the Kiwi way. Personally, I think something somewhere between the "keeping silent so as not to offend" and "I'll say what I think, and to heck if you disagree" is probably the better course. So, I was only mentioning a difference, and not knocking anyone, including Eustace here and now.
Russell! You have your car for just mere moments, and then proceed to aim straight for a tree (16:58)!!! Don't you know them things are expensive?! Hmm... 😂😂
Another great video sir just doing some catching up since things are on the down hill side of busy to some what busy 😂
Thank you very much for watching, Jason.

@@russellwhitlock1942 Oh, you're definitely right about that! Nobody anywhere ever had to wonder what was on Eustace Pharmer's mind. 😂
