Can SKPE come back?

Talk about bad timing; I was hit will extra loads of work just as the presidential campaign was getting heated up.  Three months later, I find myself hopelessly behind in posting. 

To try to make up for lost ground, I will try to get 20-30 posts in per week for the next five or six weeks.  I will reach back as far as the archives go at my regular sources (Korea Times, Chosun, Joongang, Dong-A, Hankyoreh) although I think only the Times will get me back to November.  I will supliment that will somethings I can get from Google searches.  Hopefully, that will fill in most of the gaps.

One good thing about reaching so far back is that I have the advantage of hindsight when picking which articles I think are important.

If all works well, I will have this blog back in good shape by the middle of March.

(Update:  I will have to go all the way back to page 55 on the KT list to get to October 29.  I will have to do closer to 40 posts per week to catch up by the ides of March.)

mad cow message

The candle light demonstrators are going to continue the anti beef march, eventually “You don’t have to eat American beef.” The demonstrators should know that Americans eat beef every day without mad cow disease yet. You think that you can stop buying American beef in anti American sentiment. If you want to have trade war with America, you will fail because Americans could avoid Korean goods very easily, such as cell phone, Samsung TV, radio, computer, etc. You can reject one item of American good, beef. But Koreans will lose the American market which feed you beef and other good things.

You hate Americans. Then, who would love you Koreans? Russians, Chinese or Japanese? Even if they do, they could not feed you beef.

You shook up the new Korean government. Communists and mad cow ghosts have immensely damaged South Korea. President Lee seems to be very weak, showing just gentleness. He should have shown his tough stand. If the civilian government loses the control, the communists could walk down to South.

If anyone thinks Kim Jong IL would bring his own workers’ paradise to South, he is absolutely empty headed. There is no mad cow in America but in the empty Korean heads.

You have had enough demonstration. The president got your message.

If South Korea loses American market, do you think Russians or Chinese could help you?

If anti government forces push the Korean society in to chaos, the government should declare a marshal law and send all the procommunists to North.

I hope that they would understand the situation of South is always in a danger. Do you know that only a small piece of the land is left in the South Korean hands?

The weak Korean government could not help the 6 nation de-nuclearization conference. Who can unify the divided Korea? It is you.
