But Another Politico, Local M.P. David Clark, Stuffs Up Majorly Over New Zealand Government's Coronavirus Response...By Acting in a Way that Told the Nation: "Do What(ever) I Say, But Not What(ever) I Do...

And though in theory hardly a hanging offence, in the circumstances - of arguably the most major peacetime crisis in the land, if not the world - by not 'avoiding the appearance of evil' (as a good and much underutilized Scripture expresses so succinctly) the former Knox College Rector (and now Health Minister) has singlehandedly compromised and brought into disrepute the very measures his Government has so forcefully and eloquently argued are such a necessity for his/their fellow citizens.

A former preacher should surely know more than anyone that he needs to practice what he preaches...

And Likewise, Though I've Most Assuredly No Brief Whatsoever for the Man Who (Ultimately) Unsuccessfully Led the Confederate Army Against the North(ern states)/Lincoln's Yankees, Robert A Lee...To Indulge in Such Acts of Cultural Vandalism Proves Nothing More Nor Less than that you are Among the Likes of Those Philistines Who Two Decades Ago in Afghanistan Toppled That Tremendous 800-odd Foot Statue of the Buddha - Displaying to an Incredulous World the Fact that Such Luddites and Ignoramuses Still Existed in Our Supposedly 'Modern' World; Though I Recall that Supreme Example of (Post 9/11) 'Enlightenment', Sissii Internationale - Bosom Buddies with Such Equally Primitive/Medieval and Barbaric (Sub-Saharan) African Counterparts as Hocus Bedlam and Les Shebabs - Doing Likewise

"I Will NOT Pose for your camera/s, My/our faith is not for show": So - apparently - once said a poor Appalachian (or thereabouts) pastor at the conclusion of a funeral service out in the wilds of Pennsylvania to America's popular, one-time TV Show Host Phil Donahue...in remarks now forever after 'immortalized' in and by the well-respected radio evangelist Charles ('Chuck') Swindoll...and they are of no less relevance and vital import and bearing today, whether in the U S of A or here in lil ole God's Own/Godzone...

Though 'it ain't necessarily so', as in so many things reported by today's self-anointed purveyors of truth and reality - who despite seemingly never-ending claims to 'the facts' whilst all other comers (and goers) are supposedly peddling fake news , and generous helpings thereof, themselves so often leave much to be desired insofar as really, truly giving viewers, readers and listeners 'the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth' is concerned, the 'real doss' so to speak - it is a tad concerning (and, what's more, 'worrying') when(ever) any  people in the public eye, let alone 'leaders' in the community (and other assorted 'movers and shakers' in society) use  their (supposed) 'faith' and/or religious pedigree as a kind of prop for public consumption...   And thus and so we had the spectacle of President Trump awhile ago, following the spontaneous eruption of protests and riots throughout the States...
