What a joke! The courts are a paper tiger when it comes to dealing with this family. They will make a show of attempting to recover those millions but in the end absolutely nothing will be accomplished.

Elephant steps Feb. 13 p. 1

Those areas belong to the elephants and other wildlife: turn the fields into forests and build wildlife observation resorts and hotels and employ the local population! Do something, Indonesia.

Fuel subsidy Feb. 13 p. 6

I agree completely with the writer, that fuel subsidies will become a time bomb. Actually all subsidies can be counter productive to the country if continued for a considerable length of time. I do understand that governments sometimes have to use subsidies to alleviate some urgent problems. Yet, for the long haul a different solution or more positive action must be taken.

More on toilet tissue Feb. 11 p. 7

C'mon Yash, plop down in a comfortable chair, splash something into a glass, wipe the slate clean and don't get so flushed! Julia has already written a column about the differences between Asian and Western humor, perhaps you should go back and read it.I am delighted that someone so intimate with Asian and Western cultures has taken the time and effort to both enlighten and at the same time reveal to me some of my prejudices. Humor is a tool that makes us laugh and therefore begin to analyze some of the things that we find difficult to deal with.
