So, I noticed that last week's referendum results in New Zealand went largely unnoticed here on Kos. The non-binding referendum, forced by public petition, was on whether a relatively recent law banning child abuse should be repealed. The outcome was a sad victory for social conservatism: 87% supported a repeal.
What's almost as sad is the fact that this went almost entirely unnoticed here in the United States, a country with some of the most retrogressive attitudes on the matter in the Western World...
