Jim Boldger & The NZ Green Party

Posted October 4th to the Dominion Post Newspaper Wellington New Zealand.

Dear Sir:

Jim Bolger is a pretty level headed Kiwi bloke and he also echos the sentiments of 

some disappointed Liberals when he asks why the Green Party will not form a government with the National Party, after all the main premise of a liberal is to help others.... If you do not hold power then you can NOT help anyone.

It's a problem in the USA as well as the liberals there almost crave noble defeats preferring to hold the moral high ground rather in academia than do any real work.

Any party should be happy to have the Greens help them they are mostly well educated thoughtful people who strive to have good values.

But they have to stop with the politics of identity and try an be a force of good for all.

Seriously If you form a political party with the Idea that it is purely for ones own ego then you really have no darn business putting your hat in the political ring. Now more than ever!  

Sometimes if you are not fixing a problem, you are part of it.

Green Political Revolution - Waste Not!

Posed 15th April 2015 to the Southand Times Newspaper Invercargill NZ

  
Hamish Rutherford wrote a piece for you March 30th about the NZ Green Party in a state of Indecision
I always though that the Green Revolution was not going to come from the Intellectual Left
but from the conservative elements in our society. After all what could be more conservative than conservation!
The Green Party should be there to cross the t’s and dot the I’s  and they need to hold wrong doers to account.
I can never figure out why we have not gone back to Reusable Bottles in New Zealand. One thing the Green Party should
Do is get the community involved in stopping waste and in other countries Bottles are seen as a priority.
So why is WASTE no Green enemy number one ? Making an Automobile uses as much energy as the fuel equal to Seven Years driving
So why are there no incentives to recondition Cars ?  I think the Green Revolution will come from the People that are the owning class as they don’t want to loose everything for the Luxury of Waste. This will be a silent revolution and it will not be televised.
However conservative America currently is a sticking point because they need directions from Jesus first. But the Idea of “Free Will” will eventually kick in, when faced with oblivion..
