It may be an interesting study in human nature, to see after the barbed wire comes down and they have buried the remants of Kim Jong il, whether the newly freed North Korean people turn to Bibles or Porno? What a vacuum to fill in the whole national mentality. They will be quite upset for the long years of total deprivation and abject terror and brainwashing. I hope they go the Christian, civilized route, and not 'flip out' and go into a route of total disorder, endless retaliation, crime, petty theft, alcoholism, prostitution, etc. which could easily be eeked on by the omnipresent East Asian organized crime (Japanese/S. Korean/Russia yakuza), just frothing at the mouth to get into that place.

Post-Soviet Russia societal shifts might be instructive case study.

Re #180

You raised the important point. Russia strayed because Russia did not heed Solzhenitsin's advice. I hope that N. Koreans hopefully heed his words over stupid liberals from S. Korea and all over the world, swarming in the guise of saving people.

The best way to heal the trauma of N. Koreans is to send in religious groups of various stripes to take over humanitarian efforts.

Filling the spiritual void is as important as filling hungry stomaches. That has been overlooked in the aftermath of Eastern Europe. The trauma of that level is not healed just by warm and fuzzy liberal approach and sacks of grain .
