These sculptures, the first time I saw her, who!, I was called bástate attention. This gentleman Guo Ruti, is an admirer of his art, and that is Espejocritico.net (of course its mastermind; Wilkin Urbano). It’s what I can say.

Dear Raincoaster

Neither do I drive a car. Why do you generalize about me, then ask me not to generalize about you?

You assume that I am not familiar with environmental organizations or the Vancouver scene. You seem to think me comparing North America to China has something to do with race, I am not sure where you got that from, do you think I am saying that North America is only for white people? You assume that I am unfamiliar with the Vancouver neighbourhoods and people, and that I must drive a car.

The comment that I mentioned about Strathcona comes directly from Strathcona natives, who have moved out of the neighbourhood. So yes, I have known many Strathcona natives over the years that have lived there.

I have participated in many community events, including environmental events, have practiced with musicians who lived in Strathcona, have performed at many local cultural events including Illuminaires and Strathcona events, for many years. Also I have spent years volunteering as a board member for a local non-profit.

I do know where you have put time and energy in, with FearlessCity, which is why I did mention that I respect you. Also, I am pleased that you and I have spent time discussing issues, rather than just dismissing me because I have a different opinion. Which I have experienced in Vancouver, by many who claim to fight for justice and freedom, but only if others share exactly the same opinion as them.

silverstar98121 who are you claiming executes politicians? Is it China, that you make this statement about, as far as I know, the Dalai Lama is alive, I do not believe he is a ghost.

One sentence provokes that diatribe? Gawd. I think we both know we don’t live in Paradise, but it’s just so much better if only because we don’t have all that pollution. And we don’t execute our fuck-up politicians. Although I’m considering it.

Also: "sometimes you get stuck living in places like Strathcona"... why, thank you for characterizing my neighborhood so negatively. It may shock you to know the vibrant and diverse cultures which exist here...but you would actually have to come down here and look around to know it, unless you suddenly feel like taking my word for it. Why not look here for a start: FearlessCity which is one of the places I work. That site exists to enable the residents of the Downtown Eastside to tell their own stories, so that people who live elsewhere do not have to rely on often erroneous and belittling stereotypical preconceptions.
