ORIGINAL: LadyEllen I think a two week vacation in N Korea every year should be obligatory. It wouldnt matter who you are or your circumstances, you'd come home thanking the heavens you didnt have to live there and with a whole new perspective on your problems. But like all tourism, such a scheme would inevitably come to destroy that which it celebrated (repression, privation and humourlessness) as the five dollar fees per week (all inclusive, but there aint much included) added up, and the politburo became decadent and their wealth trickled down, just like it doesnt here...... More seriously I believe and trust this is more sabre rattling from a lunatic who shall shortly expire, at which point the opportunity will open for change in N Korea along the lines of the Chinese model. Just beyond my lifetime, if such a thing should occur, Korea shall be reunited. E (I have much to say in the reunification, but it's bedtime)... anyway, Ellen - have you seen the VBS special on No. Korea. It's fascinating. best, sunshine
