Today in my governance and planning lecture, our lecturer Bruce Hucker was describing New Zealands recession problem. He was telling us about how the ones that have some responsibility in this financial struggle at the moment are actually in higher power today. He then went on to say that these guardians of power need guardianship... "who are the guardians of the guardians!"
When he said this, i thought of a rather amusing book series called "The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy". In one of the books the main characters are searching for the guardian of the universe. When they find him they see that he is a simple, down to earth man living in a shack who does not even know the responsibility that he holds.
I know this probably isn't making much sense, but I had a moment in class when I just day dreamed about this situation and laughed to myself thinking how different our country would be if we had a simple, down to earth person safeguarding our future.
