The passion was edited out when images of coffins, and such were banned from free speech.

As much as I hate the media for using tragedy to line their pockets, it is very hard to create passion if we are blinkered.

I really feel sometimes just how unbearably white bread (and white bred) our country is. I remember visiting Paris in the mid 80s and my host was telling me about the various riots and demonstrations that were going on. I asked what they were about. She said sort of dismissively, "It's always something, we're very passionate about things and we love to have protests and demonstrations."

Where is our outrage? Who will lead us in our Haka?
