Interesting tidbit in our geography text books. We are studying East Asia, and they list NK as having a 99% literacy rate.
I guess they don't count all those folks in the camps starving to death.

I was thinking that all the time otherwise wasted on eating they use to learn how to read.

The bit about pushing NK “literacy” is interesting.
Even more interesting... you’ve been a Freeper since ‘99 and you’re still in school studying geography? What’s up with that? Did you start freeping in grade school? Whatever the story, my hat’s off to you — you have my deepest respect.
