i see, then what about other guys who entered NK?
like Chung JooYoung, Chung WonSik, Kim WooJung?

       You seem not to know "South-North Exchange Promotion Law" in which
       all then-political parties agreed to recognize the government as a
       legitimate authority to control the procedures. Didn't they get 
       permission from government?  
       Do you want to raise another issue of justifcation of this law?
       

good, here you agree that those laws are out-of-date.
Im and priest Moon must agree with you on it too.
that may be why they did it.

      I clearly distinguish from activities for law reforms from violating
      laws before reform.  


and as the educated, don't you think we should speak out what is right
or wrong even when majority believe the other way.

     The above statement says all about because one of critical problem in
     Korea, I believe, is that no body respects laws nowadays. 
     Then how can we recover the "authority" of legal system? 
     Blaming government and previleged class is the easiest to do but I do
     not think it's effective.    
     I hope the above "as the educated" does not mean any "elitism."

no. before three party's merge into MINJJA,
four parties in National Assembly agree to change those laws
but after the MINJJA appeared, they changed their mind.
who can blame them when people just forget what they promised.

     As far as I remember, still even all alternatives proposed 
     allowed the authority of government regarding S-N issues.   

yes, i thought you must have been in college before 80s 
I am sorry if my previous reply had hurt your feeling.

     I wintnessed the decay of Yoo-Sin and birth of that damn Chun's junta.
     But that does not matter in this thread.

i just hope you think little more carefully 
what our country needs economically and politically
when china and other south asian countries grow at tremendous speed
while our country is so miserably divided and hurt each other.

     Sorry I still do not know what I did not think more carefully.

     Ok. Let's move on another serious business. Myself has kept asking to me 
     what really can make our country move forward. I have read some threads
     analyzing Korean economy.  I want to be a devil advocate in this net
     because I could not find any thing beyond common sense and any strategies
     to cure our weakness. In addition, I'd like to know the reasons why 
     we do have such system.  Every body is saying we are losing ground
     comparing to Taiwan.  If kereitsu is so beneficial, why haven't Korean
     chaebol developed those? Isn't against economic theory?  After some more
     oppinions about Korean economy, I'd like to write my "feelings" about 
     Korean economy which I got thru my industrial career as a general manager
     for new business planning.

     Since you accused me for not thinking more carefully what our country
     needs economically and politically, I am asking you to reveal what
     you have thought more carefully. I revealed my unorganized thoughts about
     political systems and I will do about economic  problems after you.

     Thank you very much.
