Ken:* Now that I have received your tantrum, I will become an
even more silent member of this.* Its clear that you only want
some feedback and not other types of feedback.* Sometime
consider how Americans might be seen outside their own country.*
Maybe then, you will have some inkling about where I am coming
from.* I will watch and wait.* One last thought:* Why is that no
one has picked up the thoughts contained in the message from Gay
Maxwell about Family Group Conferences?* My studies suggest that
this change to the New Zealand law is one of the most
significant legal changes affecting children in the Western
World.* No one has even said boo. Instead, the airwaves are
preoccupied with drinking age, oppression by parents, etc.* All
American stuff.* I see no need to qualify my statement about
innane chat.* Auchaye --- From:** *HAMP::KUDUT*******

[email protected]" CC:** *KUDUT Subj:** *RE:
Family Group Conferences Auchaye, I'm sorry that I can't
dedicate more of the discussion towards what is happening in New
Zealand, but I can't.* The only mention I have ever heard of
this is from Gay Maxwell.* The changes happening in NZ are,
beyond Gay's mention of it, is foreign to me, and also to the
American (and, it seems, European) users of this list.* If you
could contribute some of your knowledge to this list, I would
appreciate it. It seems that you are complaining about the
knowledge of the users that are PARTICIPATING.* The discussion
is centering around the United States because the issues are
common to those discussing.* The changes in NZ are interesting,
but before ANYONE can discuss anything, we have to be informed.*
So, you have every right to your opinions, but I also have right
to my own.* My opinion stands that you should not complain about
the level of discussion if you are not participating in it. (and
please DON'T interpret this to mean "well... you obviously don't
want to hear my opinions because they disagree with yours"
because that is just whining.* Nobody likes a whiner) --Ken
