A question of levels

About high rise, Chinese philosopher Lao Tse would have said "High rise: money flows in, spirit flies out".

The energy of raw capitalism has built the skyscraper cities of New York, Shanghai and Hong Kong, whereas low rise cities such as Paris and other old noble cities represent civilisation.

Also, about high rise, there is the true Australian attitude of egalitarianism.

We like to be on the same level playing field.

But even the truest, bluest Aussie would admit there are some differences.

I mean, you must admit politicians, celebrities and actors operate at a much lower level.
