Hmm...don't think there can ever be true meritocracy... in any society. Or for that matter, a "level playing field". Every year, some are born to become priests, some become politicians,some become prostitutes and the vast majority just pick up a job, slog, grow old and die. I always wondered why so many mamasans in KTV lounges are pretty women themselves but are heartless enough to bully other women to prostitute themselves. Its a dog eat dog world we live in, I suppose.
