Watching tonight's news about the bizarre, scary posturing of North Korea's latest monarchical communist, I was struck by two enduring truths:
- No system that requires the deprivation of the many - to permit the gorging of the few - can survive.
- Saber rattling is akin to the 'death rattle:' a plea for help in the form of a threat.
The economists in Washington and the defense-information-industrial complex may wish to take note: this is not just about North Korea.
