I was really impressed by the agricultural system there: the only totally free market farm system the world has ever seen: no subsidies, no tariffs, no protectionism. They even fund their own research, which means they can experiment with such things as genetics, which the Greens hate. They have been able to get Monterey pines to grow on a 23-year cycle (US farm trees, other than pulpwood, take 40 years).

This is why New Zealand is not on a whole to the left of the US on each and every issue. I think bureaucracy administration, trade policies, and agricultural and industrial policies are the areas NZ is more conservative. But no doubt any defence hawks would be treated as a parish in this country, and NZ does have a naive worldview of wanting to "trade freely with everyone" eg selling lamb to Iran and tarde with Cuba or North Korea.

I don't know if you have ever watched "Bullshit" on Showtime. Penn and Teller had an episode on genetically modified food. And guess what, it isn't the Frankenstein story the clueless Greens would have you and I believe.

If only Canada and the US could adopt such an agricultural system.
