Forgive my ignorance in such matters, but why not exclude the US and all other non-East Asian countries?

An event promoting ecological concerns would be doubledamned for shredding their programs! Better to have an insert. But I have no doubt that interested parties and individuals will be sure to spread the word and that the screening will be very well attended.

Congratulations to the guy - he kept on at what he wanted to do and has hit the jackpot - he may even last longer than the PM does!

I have an alternative, cheaper idea: get a big jar, fill it with sand, and dig up a couple of worms. Worm farms are COOL!

That said, ant farms would be cool too - but where's the food? In the gunk? How long does the gunk last?

The mentally ill often end up in "community care", ie the family's responsibility. A terrible thing to happen.
