> I do think from all I've seen, had contact with, read . . . that there MAY be SOME above average healthiness to the population of NZ from a number of perspectives.
Child abuse/murder is an epidemic here. Sadly, it appears to be disproportionately skewed along racial lines: a quick Google will confirm that.
That said, most kids in NZ grow up healthy and balanced and are not abused.
Abuse in some areas of the Western world seems to be reaching epidemic proportions.
But, it's been predicted that lawlessness etc. would increase dramatically at the end of the age.
