Undeluded scribbler

I agree completely with Eric Bahrt that animals belong in the wild. But I was disturbed by his angry grumble “How many times do I have to point out?” as if the purpose of farang letter-writing is to change hearts and minds in Thai society rather than to provide enlightenment and entertainment in the English-speaking press. The fact that our scribblings are published doesn’t mean we should become overly deluded by imaginary self-importance.
