Zealots Go Too Far

An overzealous ROK Army captain of one Nonsan Boot Camp Training Site was arrested and taken to a court martial. The nation went nuts over the bizarre disciplinary action of the company commander gone too far. He is alleged to have force fed feces to every trainee of the camp, for they have dirtied barracks lavatory.

The other overzealous high school teacher, who had been charged with overseeing students taking term exams, had gone too far, correcting wrong answers of one exam paper. The proprietor of the paper done a favor turned out to be son of a district prosecutor.

Cadre members of some Labor Unions are alleged to have exercised the job allocation rights allowed them by the Employer. Does it mean that labor unions, in due course, could become employers? Just like larvae turn into moths? They have turned out to have gone one step further, accepting bribes from job seekers. Really bizarre.

Suits, suits and more suits. In the age of litigations, 59 entertainers, mostly from the television arena, are suing an advertising magnate, the Jaeil Planning Corporation, for libel and the violation of privacy, etc. Fact is that the Jaeil Planning made a survey of 99 entertainers, profiling and categorizing them and making projections. Problem is that the files, prior to building data base groundwork, were released to the Internet community of Korea (Republic of).

The Apocalyptic Tidal Surges

It has terrorized tourists and natives as well. Before you know it, people were swept away by sea waves which had done them no harm before. People were in a blitzkrieg classified into three categories of human existence: alive, dead and missing.


The disaster has made a "sea change" which has undergone a Kafkaesque metamorphosis on global human consciousness. Which means that the the tsunami disaster has made a crateral dent on human perception of things.


Inorganic matters turned "organic." The ocean does not appear huge mass of waters. It "is" the organization of seas that have wills and powers to express and practice them. In my fitful bad dreams after the apocalyptic tidal surges, I watched with fright the waters, with chills running down the spine, making battle array just like soldiers of an army division do and charging toward the shore where I had been standing.
