I suspect the starvation problem is created by the government. North Korea is a communist country. There is no right to life or freedom. If a certain region gives them trouble, they can just cut off the food. North Koreans manage to live on a small amount of food.

The author of Aquariums was shocked at the amount of food available in South Korea. The idea of walking into a store and buying whatever you want was inconceivable to him. I hear the same thing from Africans who live in areas where food is controlled by the government. They complain we "waste" food. I told them that food is not life; it is compost. The problem is not that we waste food but that governments keep food from people.

Communists build monuments, not societies.

Intelligent people can see for themselves what is obvious. They don't need to be told that Islamic culture is incompatible with freedom, human rights, and democracy.

Thank you, professor. The Jihadists could not have stated it better.

To be sure, those in Nazi Germany did "not need to be told that (German) culture is incompatible with freedom, human rights and democracy."

Mein Kampf made this very clear.

P. S. Professor: Ditto for Japanese culture. Sheer incapacity for democracy. Hirohito said so.
