Hello Middle Red Dot. I am not sure whether Crazy Horse was a good product or not because I have not yet seen it. But from what I read, the Crazy Horse in Singapore might not have been allowed to stage as great a performance as it could possibly have because of restrictions imposed on it.

Also, I do believe even if you have a good product, it does not mean there will be sales. Think the Apple Newton. It was an awesome product. Too awesome in fact. Way ahead of its time. A product’s success is not just a function of its inherent qualities. The context in which the product is in also makes a difference.

One truth that businessmen cites from age past till present is this : ” In any market, when a product is really good, it will sell and its sales will be sustainable!”

Crazy Horse fails partly because it’s not a good product!

‘Protect us by educating us.’

It should be, Don’t treat us like children. We are more mature than you think. And please stop nannying us.

Interesting post about Crazy Horse and religion. I was invited to the opening of Crazy Horse when it first opened as an industry player. I wasn’t particularly impressed then and somehow certain things just didn’t seem right. Even at that early stage, many of us sensed that this outfit isn’t going to last. Do check out my blog post on this at:

Temptation is not a bad thing. Choosing to succumb to it is. Of course, we should try and pray that we are put in as little situations as possible where we can be tempted. But we should not fear temptation. Because the virtuous will be able to choose not to be tempted. So temptation and choice are two different things. You are not calling the same thing I am referring to by another name - they are two different things.

Yes. We should pray that we will not be lead into temptation but i believe God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can resist. There is a bible verse on this.

And if we are not informed and discerning, how can we be able to grow and mature and be strong enough to resist greater temptations.

Allow people to choose where they stand by equipping them with the necessary tools to make the correct decision. Don’t decide for them. And sometimes, there are certain matters which are indeed a matter of taste. We got to acknowledge that. Don’t with one broad sweep, lump everything into two sides. And that is what I feel we tend to do in Singapore. We must appreciate that it is a scale. And if we continue to lump things so simply into two sides, people will be less discerning. And that will be a loss for our nation.

What you call choice, I call temptation. Your pastor should have prayed “lead us not into temptation…”
