How seriously do you take this "we won" stuff ?
To what level do you identify yourself as a Kiwi ?
I was born in the USA and am legally a citizen.
I represent myself as an independent individual who
is not connected with the horrible ( and sometimes good )
policies the US government pursues.  Nor do I identify with
the touristy hordes that pour into other countries.  Their
behaviour is their's and mine is mine.
