...early October over a draft plan requiring that low-pressure shower heads be installed in new homes over a specified size, a trifle in itself but part of a wider narrative broadcast by anti-Clark forces that New Zealand has become a nanny state. It's a perception strongest in rural areas, where many farmers feel suffocated by bureaucracy. Sometimes, their grievances sound more like longing for a bygone era, when farmhands weren't glued to their mobiles and trampers couldn't expect a payout for injuring themselves on private land. But it's also a case of where there...
...that probably wouldn't bother many New Zealanders. While they take their politics seriously here - voter turnout in general elections has averaged nearly 90% since 1960, up there with the highest rates in the world among countries where voting isn't compulsory - they're also politically phlegmatic, saving their strongest emotions for more important matters, like rugby...
...doing before he died. Hilarity ensued when the scientists, with very thick and believable accents, began arguing their own theories and fighting for the microphone. Sarah T.

But the world has changed; the language and the concepts that made sense 50 years ago do not make sense...
...from rural Booneville, while Davis is a more stilted suburbanite, the mayor of the bedroom community of Southaven. By recruiting candidates who depart from party orthodoxy but are more in line with conservative districts, Pelosi's team has expanded the Democrats' appeal in long-hostile territory. Childers actually runs strongest in rural towns that support John McCain but resent growing Memphis, Tenn., suburbs like Southaven. That presents dilemmas for Democratic leaders back in Washington, who may find new members of their herd hard to corral. After the galvanizing force of Bush is gone, they'll have to figure out what...
