I understand that each culture will arrive at equally stupid terms to
describe equally stupid ideas. Call it my Law of Cultural
Rela-Stupidity. For the purposes of CTHD and this campaign specifically,
I am currently only focused on functioning as a US based PAC. If others
in other countries would like to found their own national chapters to
function equivilantly, they are free to do so.
I recommend that those who feel the need, to design your own labels to
fit the requirements of your local language and culture. I have done
these simply to make it easier for those less graphically oriented to
participate in english speaking countries.
