An almost unidentifiable force which seeks the destruction of a traditional morality rooted in a belief in the universal, the transcendent and the perennial, is well on its way to achieving its goal.
It wasn't only 'The Great Sexuality Showdown' on TV3 that reminded me that New Zealand is in the midst of a culture war, a kulturkampf as the Germans call it. Every year, we see another piece of traditional thought eroded away.
The Brezhnev doctrine ('what we gain we keep') prevails now in New Zealand, although it has long since died in Russia. Most average New Zealanders seem to have little understanding of the aggressive and revolutionary force that confronts them.
