I'm sympathetic, but Seoul has a long history of mass evictions, typically with little or no compensation, so in comparison the farmers in Pyeongtaek are being well compensated, and only because the U.S. is involved, and not estate speculators.

Whoa! . . . The ideology in the letter stinks to high heaven but Noja's upon it is sound and interesting.
