I have resisted the temptation to discuss the murders in Mumbai, India.

Then, I heard about the death in Long Island, New York, of a casual worker, Jdimytai Damour, who was killed at a Wal-Mart store by people trampling over this person... and another four shoppers, including a woman eight months pregnant, who were injured in a stampede for bargains.

Let us all "get a grip" on what is 'real' and also what is 'relevant'.

when is a bargain worth a human life?

When is the 'taking' of a hotel room worth a human life?
