Wow! Wait until it’s warm enough to gather outside.

North Korea could be the next hotspot to go up in flames because the government is not only extremely repressive but also is starving its citizens to death.

Time for a huge revolution there methinks.

[Decombobulator]

The North Koreans have been oppressed and starving for 60 years and they haven’t done anything about it, so I don’t see why they would suddenly start now. Although it would be great to see...

“Give us electricity and rice”

Things to be thankful for this morning - my nice warm house, uninhibited access to the vast info available on the TV I’m watching, my husband bringing me breakfast in bed made from a very comfortable food supply right here in our home, exercising my first amendment rights as I post on FR, and the freedom to teach my homeschooled kids as we see fit.

My heart never stops breaking for North Korea.

My heart never stops breaking for North Korea.

There are many places which deserve our sympathy. It is a credit to you that you feel that way. However, coming soon to a city near you, perhaps yours, chaos and upheaval. Then we can turn our strength inward and solve the problems at home.
