      Probably you did not catch my question. 
      My question was why you did think I did not think more carefully.
      How did you know I did not think carefully about Korean economy or 
      politics?  The fact I did not post any article about Korean economy
      does not mean necessarily that I did not think about them.

well, would you read a few postings from yeowook about korean economy?
seems that his posting already answered your questions.

      You might have missed the unlined lines of my posting.
      I thought your or yeowook's posting more or less the same as I have heard
      from industrial experts and what I have read from newspaper.
      I could not find anything creative or new from them.
      Is our problem simple? So if we can develop Keiretsu, then can we become
      economic superpower? Do you think many technocrafts in Korean government
      can not think this?

i think many guys including me did before. 
and anyone who supported MINJJA  has never shared his informations
about what kind of economic policies YS government will have.
did you guys know it and voted for it?
or you guys didn't know about it. (actually you guys don't care?)

     Sorry I never declared myself as a MINJJA supporter even though I listed
     problems of DJ side.  You seem to like "black and white" very much.
     Also you might have never heard YS's economic policies.  He supported
     "real-name-for-all-financial-transactions" law.  Even he supported
     the promotion of middle or small size business etc.... 
     Do you know "KYUNG-SIL-YOEN" invited the cheap policy makers from 
     major parties and concluded all election promises are vulanable and 
     unrealistic because no party took account of budget side. I think
     it was you who did not hear the other side stories.
     Please gentleman, do not label others without sufficient information.
     Isn't it what you said, misarablly divisive and hurting others?
     Once again, I'd like to ask you not to bring your emotion when you
     want to exchange different opinions unless you are not a spokesman of 
     any political party.

     When I exchanged many postings regarding deplomatic normalization with
     PRC, I did post some of my thoughts about Korean economy as the reasons
     why I supported Korean government decision. I do not expect you remember
     that. I'd like to ask you that if we follow Taiwan's example, how can we
     defeat them because they alread have gove too far?  You guys, correctly
     pointed out the problem of mimicing Japan. I think if we can not develop
     our own way of economic policies, there is no way to win.  It is easy to
     compare Korean economy with other successful countries. However, for me
     it does not provide the way of success.  
     When I was a businessman, I have meet many businesspersons and 
     technocrafts who are as much serious and patriotic as you guys are.
     If you want to hear different stories with more polite manner, I can raise     many issues and question which I could not answer by myself.
