Greg deJong: Ann Nam Young's illustration "Couple in Bed" has stuck with me since it's appearance in The Walrus (November 2007?). Replace the infant, teddy bear, and dog (but keep its splayed position) with cats, and that is me and my wife any given night. We are acutely sensitive to the way our North American culture rests on a bed of suffering; a recent supposition also struck home: that each of us in the privileged world has 10 slaves we hardly know about and will never meet, but who support our lifestyles with their labour and sacrifice. I pledge to them to do more with my waking hours counteracting this imbalance, having always had a good night's sleep. January 11, 2008 06:46 EST
