Thank...Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog. Thankfully it brought me to yours. What a brilliantly written blog you have. It makes me feel sick thinking about the ivory trade that unfortunately still goes on. That poster is something I never would have expected to see here, what a good message to pass on. I hope it works.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671311883343642773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243295322488372497.post-67403809305764747712009-02-20T10:19:00.000+08:002009-02-20T10:19:00.000+08:00caitlin,you've captured my feelings exactly. some...caitlin,<BR/>you've captured my feelings exactly. sometimes i wondered if i was seeing even more public service announcements in beijing than i saw in new york. did they ever seem contrived to you, though? like, they were being displayed as a badge, showcasing beijing's "cosmopolitanism" and modernity? sometimes the action that we try to advertise is so much less sexy than the medium itself, and i wonder if we get caught up in the process rather than the message...Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748969395995096741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243295322488372497.post-88696019362665754462009-02-12T23:35:00.000+08:002009-02-12T23:35:00.000+08:00Beautiful writing.

You have looked for it and found it all your life, even when the linking thread required a great deal of poking to find.
