Thanks El Jefe for your concern. I know what you mean about getting in trouble. Even "movements" such as the "free hugs" thing last year got people in trouble with the law here in China. Still, you see those numbers. The premature deaths, the birth defects, the disease. Many people just consider air pollution part of daily life where they live and accept it. That is the only thing Mask Week participants are looking to change. To get people to start asking questions, finding information end the acceptance of deformities, death, and disease attributed to Air Pollution as "just another day." </p> http://shanghaiist.com/2007/10/31/pollution_birth.php#comment-1227772 http://shanghaiist.com/2007/10/31/pollution_birth.php#comment-1227772 Comments Wed, 31 Oct 2007 11:17:38 +0800 <p>Personally, I think following any sort of "movement" in China is a good way to land your dumb ass in jail.</p>
