It was funny because the North Koreans showed them stuff like bottling plants, because this was an accomplishment for them (and something worth showing).
I'm Canadian so I can't vote in your elections unfortunately.
Ultimately, even if a blue-collar low wage worker becomes president, they'll only have gotten there because they caved into corporate money to be able to get enough exposure to thus be voted in. You need millions in ads to be a house-hold name... or you can just quote the pokemon movie and eat black walnut ice-cream.
Edit: To Hookah... have you ever watched Departures? It's a Canadian show but it's spreading to US/world channels as we speak. Really good travel show, and they have an episode in North Korea. Quite interesting to watch them be chaperoned around the country (and see a different side of it). Kind of sad to see perfectly normal people trapped in a system ><
It won't really matter, if they actually waged war it'd be over pretty fast. Honestly, I think they will get with the program and open up a bit. A lot of countries now are moving forward and not clinging to stubborn old rulers who want to control everything. It's a shame so much of our world is strictly patriarchal societies, as I think women are much more responsible (3/4 of the month!) whether it's with budgets or morals. Too many old men running this world eh?
With regards to Obama, as a Canadian, I like him. He does seem smart and I'm not joining the hate bandwagon that seems to be popular lately. It could be a lot worse, regardless of who's 'bought by the corporations' or w/e. Well it was a lot worse, cough cough 8 years past.
