And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett) |

I have to ask.
Korea, sometimes North, has been used as an example so many times in this thread. Why Korea? I am not getting it. Can someone explain why ever we would want to be like Korea, the Soviet Union or East Germany (the DDR)??? I am not trying to be dense, I try to be well read and keep up with politics, diplomacy and history, but somehow in all that I seemed to have missed why we keep using these countries of examples for the US to follow. Norway, Finland, heck...Canada even, I get. North Korea, I do not get. I have this weird MASH meets James Bond meets Fiddler on the Roof meets Stalag 17 meets Southpark thing going on in my head now.
