        \_ I wish I had saved this graph that compared retail space per
           capita between Britain, Sweden and the United States.  We had
           something like 20x-30x more retail space per capita which suggests
           there are a lot more store closings coming up.

10/27   I'd like to go to China one day but I heard that people are assholes
        there. For example, everything has a 3-tier pricing. If you're
        a Caucasian, you get a special bi-ren price. If you're an outsider
        like Taiwanese, Singaporean, Mayasian, etc, you get a special
        hua-chiaw price. If you're a mainlander, you get the original
        price. There are exceptions of course (e.g. Caucasian who speaks

Komar & Melamids Asian Elephant Art and Conservation Project is both a s erious non-profit organization that cooperates closely with the World Wi ldlife Fund and a humorous look at modern culture. In the 1980s, the gov ernment of Thailand passed strict anti-logging laws. About 3,000 tame el ephants in Thailand, who earned their living in logging camps, lost thei r jobs. They were forced to move into the crowded cities to perform circ us tricks. They barely earned enough for their handlers (mahouts) to fee d them. The Asian Elephant Art and Conservation Project has established three Elephant Art Academies where the elephants learn to paint. Animal-created art has been a topic of discussion since the end of the ni neteenth century. There are chimpanzees who paint and a donkey who paint s with his tail. It was after painting with Rene, in the Toledo (Ohio) Zoo, that Komar & Melamid tho ught of the Thai project to solve the problem of that countrys elephant s Today, the AEACP is literally allowing the elephants and the mahouts of Thailand to support themselves with dignity. These questions are central to the future of art in the 21st century cult ure. And they are central to Komar & Melamids Asian Elephant Art and Co nservation Project.
