Peek-a-boo

How much is that doggy in the window?

Christmas is just round the corner and the mad rush to buy and shop will have subsided in a couple of days. Being a beneficiary of this enraged consumerism I really shouldn't be so hard on it. But I can't. Enough said. Today's ST had an interview with a Malaysian poet/author who said that economic reasons underlie the recent racial tensions in Malaysia. I believed he mentioned something about income inequality or unequal opportunities. Maybe I should qualify my previous stance, that race or religion will be the rubric for any social disintegration, but inequality still remains the underlying cause. Lets think about it as we ring up even more sales till Christmas.
