It would be foolish to ignore its consequences. Patrick's post the day after yours was certainly angrier and more accusatory than Burtynsky's photos or "Manufactured Landscapes," but I think his comments about the hollowness of change in China are pretty accurate. Then again, who knows. I've never been to China, I have only peered at it from its doorstep.
