[edit] About North Korea
1. If you knew that everything I say about the subject is the truth, would you call it "social commentary"? talk is cheap, is true cheap as well? If the average hight of boys in north korea is 7" shorter than that of same age boys in south korea because of malnutrition, If thousands die in concentration camps because of a comment they might have uttered against the government, If on the other hand the "president" had 200 imported limousines and a 22000 titles movie library... and finally if after all the countries you have been to you couldn't step into North Korea because it's the closest country on earth and because they don't want you to see that what I say, which in any case is well documented, is true.. What would you say to an old women who is dying by giving whatever food she has to her grand child so at least he can live?
2. More food for thought..If the people of the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" had a chance to pick into Wikipedia, and sow how normally and objectively their country was presented to the world, they would say that Wikipedia had no heart and you might answer that it shouldn't, unless you were willing to put yourself in their shoes.. If all Wikipedia needs "to have a heart" is telling it like it is and not like just another system of "government" than is it too much to ask? Is it really governing and not torturing and killing that is happening today in North Korea? If there was a wikipedia during world war two. would wikipedia have tried to be so neutral in describing the government system of Adolf Hitler? Where would have the railroad tracks find place within that government.
[edit] Poem
As two ships passing in the night,
So quietly neath the stars soft light;
Our paths cross but now and then.
Reaching out, seeking one another again.
We say hello and then we part,
Knowing we've shared a piece of our heart.
Some friendships stay and sadly some go.
My prayers remain steady hoping ours will grow.
I ache when you're hurting,
I cry when you're sad.
Wanting to comfort and hold you so bad.
Know that I'm waiting here, with open arms,
To share all your troubles and relish your charms.
I have nothing to offer but the soul of a friend,
Strong shoulders to lean on that don't easily bend.
I offer these freely with no strings attached,
For in caring and sharing you'll not meet my match.
So on some long and lonely night
When nothing seems to go just right
Close your eyes and think of me,
Under the moon's glow is where I'll be.
