I'm in a much different position then you but I recognise when you speak about 'the cage of Auckland'. When the rulers don't allow you to be who you are and impose all kinds of bureaucratic nonsense on you just to intimidate you. Often they don't even realise how crazy they behave as they just do 'their job'. Not all bureaucrats are bad, only the mindless ones... And unfortunately more then 50% seem to be brain dead.

Government needs to be cleaned up, the zombies need to go. and the remaining people need to be schooled into technology or replaced by people who at least understand today's technology.

The average person in government doesn't have a clue what is in the snowden docs. They can read it but to them it's just like reading a language they never seen before. So how on earth can those people know what's going on. Still they are the ones who make the big decisions.
They are the ones who listen to lobbist bullshit, and let themselves get fooled into buying in to that stuff without realising the impact on the people who are actually paying the tax.

For us who somewhat understand the snowden docs it's possible to see the dangers. But it becomes problematic when we try to communicate the dangers to people who don't have a single braincell that fires when you try to explain those dangers.

We need teachers who are capable of explaining technology in baby steps to 'old brains'

And this is where we have a huge gap.

The 'old brains' even lack the understanding of the importance to of educating the children of the tax payers about tomorrows technology.
How can childeren learn about tomorrows tech, if the educational systems aren'e even capable to educate them about todays tech. And with people in government who don't even have a clue about yesterdays tech?
.. Let alone last centuries tech.

How many people in government know how a 14k4 modem connected to a BBS?
Most of them never knew it even existed!
