A few weeks ago I wrote about how so many North Koreans are openly sobbing in the streets after the demise of their so-called "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-Il . Jong-Il is the despicable despot who lived in extravagant wealth and built up his countries nuclear and conventional weapons arsenal while allowing his people to practically starve. According to a radio program I had on, there may be an explanation why so many of these hapless, beleaguered, and beaten down peasants are sobbing so openly and mourning the death of such a ruthless and despicable bully: It appears that any North Korean peasant who doesn't openly mourn the loss of the ironically described "Dear Leader" are subject to "six months of hard labor" for failure to openly and convinceably mourn the death of their leader/tormentor. North Korea is an even worse of a place to live than I expected. I'm fortunate to live in a free country, even if those who govern and run for the privilege to govern here are often complete self-serving a-holes.
