Traveling to New York over Christmas, I was confronted with two demands.

At Macy’s the world’s largest department store, bedecked in glitz and glimmer, as “a dead palestinian is press-ganged into selling play stations and beer.” (Thanks Tim Minchin, “White Wine in the Sun”), harangues us to “Believe.”

In Central Park, woefully sad dreams of wondering what could have been, had John Lennon not been shot.

I know where I fall… Which side are YOU on?
