As the Kiwis kick off their ANZAC match with the Kangaroos tonight, JamesPerry shares his thoughts. All too often, we hear the word ‘hero’ bandied about the sports field – for example, Piri Weepu was treated as a national hero during the Rugby World Cup, the defensive effort the All Blacks put in to win the Rugby World Cup final [...]

In a perfect world, things like the explosions in Boston would never happen, but this isn’t a perfect world, and the explosions did happen. RevChris offers his thoughts on the possible fall-out of an event like this, and how it is more important now than ever before to think before we act: There is no doubt that the explosions in [...]
