American T T Durai?

Just when you think it can't happen to the U.S. , they've confirmed my suspicion that it can. Everywhere around the world is the same if you look hard enough. Human nature is such and are often avarice.

Tell me that if you are Singaporean and after reading the above-mentioned that it does not remind you of T T Durai.

Please do not be mistaken that I'm trying to sling mud on the good reputation of the United States but what I'm trying to prove here is the failure of man in general. It's not just the fat cats on Wall Street, or other rich and prominent people. We've all to varying degrees enhanced our self-interest build on others demise and misery when we should all "share the burden". Unfortunately, sharing the burden is counter-intuitive so we will continue to be witness to such "indecency" or insensitivity. Regardless of your post code, country of residence. So wake up and smell the flowers and recognise the nature of this world we live in.

The only thing we can do is to debate the degree of the "crime" and decide whether we would punish it or not but we will never make it stop.

Apologies for being rather fatalistic today.
