Re: Look back, then look to the future — March 8 editorial.
I’ve read your editorial three times in an attempt to find something over which I could express self-righteous, self-entitled outrage. Damn it, can’t find much other than that I’m a bit disappointed that the “/Poverty Bay” part is
to be retained in the council’s submission to the NZ Geographic Board.
Terrific editorial that provides rational, reasoned explanation of the name change. I particularly commend your paragraph of historical facts to those who will strive to find something to rant and rail against.
Perhaps people need to bear in mind that the health of a democracy can be measured in no small part by how well it addresses the rights and aspirations of minorities, the deprived and those it has previously inflicted harm upon.
