A NYT piece

on news.com about North Korea and its total ban on free speach.

I am waiting for the comments to flow in about how its the fault of the US/Bush, Christians or Microsoft.

Maybe a plug for how Linux or Mac's would solve the problem. :):):):)

They mentioned the internet...

...otherwise, who cares? Let them nuke themselves into oblivion for all I care. Everyone and their mother has spy satelites and death rays pointed at them due to kim playing with his new toy that had a total yield less than Hiroshima

Another communist success story! (nm)

Probably just the oppisite, surely anything the RIAA has to offer in
the West must be banned in North Korea.
