[extropy-chat] FWD (Got Caliche?) Chairman Kim's dissolving kingdom

[Terry W. Colvin]

Editor's Note:
I've had a deep interest in North Korea for over 30 years, so I include the
following notable article: ["North Korea's totalitarian system is dissolving.
The slow-motion exodus is the beginning of the end. Bush's re-election dealt
a blow to Kim, 62, who had gambled on a win by John Kerry, the Democratic 
candidate. Kim lost his bet and now faces four more years of Bush, who says 
that he 'loathes' the North Korean leader. Observers await Kim's official
birthday, February 16, to see if the state media accord him adulation."]
