I believe that in time the treaty principles bill or something very much like it will succeed.
00:00:05
>> The haka tip party moldi hana rips up the um treaties principal bill and then
00:00:09
they perform a haka in front of you. What what's that like from your perspective? It's saddening because I
00:00:15
look at the society we live in and after about 300,000 years of humans running around bopping each other over the head,
00:00:22
keeping each other as slaves, practicing cannibalism, and just generally being savages, we have arrived at a time in
00:00:28
our history where to be respected, you have to make your arguments using ideas and logic and facts. And people have the
00:00:36
ability to choose which ones they believe and how they think. Now all of a sudden we say, "Okay, if you don't like
00:00:43
something, then you just get up and and dance around and yell and poke your tongue out and in their case um make
00:00:49
shooting gestures uh of a gun that people if you don't like their ideas, instead of debating them with better
00:00:55
ideas, maybe you should kill them." Well, that makes me sad.
