There comes a point when a man must refuse to answer to his leader if he is also to answer to his own conscience.Hartley Shawcross, barrister, politician, and prosecutor at the Nuremberg War Crimes tribunal (1902-2003)
Inspired by Intelligentsiya I am joining in Fiji's fight to retain our freedoms of choice in life - before we know it our freedoms will be taken away and what we take for being normal is really not. We must guard against this at all times and fight to retain what can never be suppressed! A government that knowingly and deliberately violates people’s rights loses the moral authority to demand obedience.

Does a collective conscience exist with Fiji Junta supporters?

Come now! Does a "collective conscience exist"?. It did as per some ideological, arrogant, and maybe even well-intentioned motivation - EXCEPT that ego, personality, arrogance, self-preservation, holier-than-thou attitude, a realisation of exactly what they have done and a desire to stave off the inevitable has kicked in. Remeber back nearly a century ago, some of these people would eventually be left hanging from lampost cross-bars. We're all so much more civilised now though (AREN'T WE?).
I'm sorry but I'll not shed a tear if that's how they end up though I may shed one for their whanau. (Just one).
These arrogant sods after all have hijacked an ENTIRE nation because they were SO "paternalistic", so arrogant, so self-obsessed and self-interested that THEY thought they were somehow better than others, and that they knew best.
The statistics actually prove otherwise.
In terms of history - their position is only temporary - something they haven't come to terms with. They're SO arrogant, they haven't actually considered what they're leaving behind, OR the shit they're leaving their mokopuna. SHAME
