     Yes, Yes, Yes........ You are perfect.
     So what should happen in Korea?
     Whether you like him or not, he was elected with 35% of support.
     And that is what we call democracy.
     I'd rather blame YS Kim and DJ Kim for spliting the majority.

     Now, as Taiwanese subside a little, let talk about Korea.
     This is my own opinion for sck netters, nothing nore, nothing less.
     I'd like to hear yours.

     As Plato said, I ONCE believed minor elites could lead their
     country to the better direction than ignorant majority (see
     Singapore, gee.. I am not even sure whether it's the right
     example).  However, most elites tend to be very greedy.

     In my opinion, S. Korea's political chaos started from the two
     previous presidents; one, a Ph.D. from Princeton and the other,
     a graduate from Imperial Japanese military academy.  Their foreign
     -dependent and dictatorial policies frequently made S.Korea 
     defenseless to Kim Il Sung's "Juche". (here I don't think Kim Ku
     would have led S.Korea to the better state either.)
     Those two greedy presidents could be eliminated from their power
     only by the students' blood (here again, considering circumstances
     just before the assassination of Park, practically I do believe
     his regime ended not by a certain person but by the students).

     Since I killed all of MC5's messages I couldn't refer to them
     much (it was really full of SOURCES).  However, as MC5 once
     mentioned sometime ago, without socialistic modifications by
     some dictatorial forces, and capitalistic incentives together,
     economic development in S.Korea would be well behind campared to
     present state.  But we are witnessing painful reactions we have
     paid and are paying now.  North Korea never maintained such
     identities that Marx and Lenin dreamed to build either.  If
     they did, it would be collapsed as Russia by now.  I assume
     that a country no longer holds its ideological identity when
     it fails to build democratic government by majority whether
     it is bourgeoisie or proletariat.  Nothing much changed during
     Chun's period (now they got greedy for money).

     They did not have any interest in re-unification at all.  
     Though it is being frequently mentioned presently, I don't
     believe they have such will and interest.  Only
     innocent students are sacrificed.  They are actually minors
     considering entire number of students in Korea.  But without
     their voices, S.Korea would be as same as Taiwan - majority
     subsided by minor elites.  

     Hi, netters.  Is my point of view one of scarce?     
     Brian, James, how about you?  No interest but flame war?
     Daeshik, stop nintendo for a while, and spit yours.
     Goetz, what's your view compared to Germany?
     -- Sorry, nothing personal.  I know you will understand.
