    Journalists and script writers all know that the first rule is, 'never let the truth get in the way of a good story'.

    I think it was Napolean that said 'History is nothing more than lies, agreed on by historians'
    " Rule books are for the Guidance of the Wise, and the Obedience of Fools"

    How true...

    As well as "History is written by the victors", although try telling the Japanese that! They still say in their textbooks that they were 'liberating' SE Asia and China in WW II.

    So you mean Maori had blue face paint, wore horned helmets, believed in democracy and had a large waka that was claimed to be unsinkable and hit an iceberg?
