A minor gem from South Korea

Monday, June 01, 2009
"Domestic pigeons, once considered "symbol of peace," were designated as harmful wild animals that damage people's life and property, the Environment Ministry said yesterday...Even though their acidic droppings and scattered feathers have caused corrosion to historical structures and inconvenience for citizens, there was no legal restraint that could control their activities nationwide".

Rats with wings, aren't they?

A counterpart to the BNP shenanigans of the other week

Friday, December 05, 2008
From The Korea Herald (for once I am quoting from the South Korean press, although DPRK fans can expect more from there later):

"Conservative civic groups yesterday disclosed the names of some 5,000 members of a progressive teachers union in Seoul, in a bid to tame what they call biased education and leftist activism.

The Korean Teachers and Education Workers' Union reacted angrily, suggesting it may take a legal action, as the move possibly violates privacy and libels its members..."KTU teachers' biased education and actions that are inappropriate for teachers are one of the reasons the education sector is so troubled," the People's Coalition Against Antinational Education said yesterday at a press conference".

Not wanting an affiliation in the public domain and being ashamed of it are not one and the same, are they?
