One of the most interest-capturing articles dealing with a Pacific Rim country seemed to escape your coverage. Or maybe I missed your coverage? It deals with the prolonged slavery of the disabled in the southern islands off the coast of South Korea. Little or no food, no pay, freezing housing, long hard days in the salt fields.<\/p>\n

Please consider raising this important topic dealing with slavery, the disabled, and a first-world country we are involved with, who\u2019s our neighbor.\u00a0 After the atrocious ferry accident killing over 300 students followed by the Seoul subway tragedy\u2026and the fact that the Koreans don\u2019t currently circulate money in our economy but capture it in Korea, a little pressure wouldn\u2019t hurt, a little light where there\u2019s darkness would be helpful.<\/p>\n
