But there's no question a widespread disdain for businesspeople (as evidenced by some of the comments in this thread) creates a disincentive for some people to try harder.
And surely the problem is whether we are entreprenurial enough, not how we feel about businesspersons. Because so long as there's no dearth of people who want to be self-employed and employ others (I seem to recall that's documented to be the case), and the conditions for doing business are favourable (which they are), I have trouble picturing a businessperson being stifled by this supposed disdain.

I'm off fishing now.

I'm really hoping to be there for a bit, weather and work and fundraiser canvassing permitting. Megan, I know what you look like, LB... I'll try to recognise you based on the arm action.

BTW where do you think our 'cousins' over the Tasman will want to move when life on the 2nd driest continent becomes untenable?
I keep wanting to say that in the Brash demento-group thread... I think it's going to be Australia catching down with us, not the other way around.

I meant up north. When we lose it's easy to complain, complaining when we win takes skill
Seems to me it's what you're doing! :-)
But you might be right, perhaps the French saw the writing on the wall early and folded. Still, it was a good game, thoroughly enjoyed the razzle dazzle and the All Blacks' defence was just superb.

The All Blacks weren't losing
Dude, they lost a bunch of tests this year, including one at home against the French.
