Other worlds


This morning there were rumors that North Korea's Kim Jong Un had been assassinated, though the U.S. Government says it ain't necessarily so. I can't help but hope a coup will succeed, assuming it's a coup led by a new boss who isn't as bad as the old boss.

Meanwhile, this sorta cute, sorta bizarre video of N. Koreans playing 'Take on Me' on accordions is circulating.

I appreciate that  people are oppressed in the U.S. I really do. But sometimes I want get on my knees and thank...who or what?... my lucky stars?...that my kids get to grow in a country that at the very least pays lip service to the idea of freedom.
