Remember the FTA protests? Or heck, just the recent virulent anti-US protests with the charade of being about food safety? Remember the hoary old farmers they would drag out for sympathy, and the government’s assurances to help them “survive”. Well the charade continues.

Not that Korea is alone in this bothersome juxtaposition. The Korean bureaucrats can be secure they are joining the likes of the Rockefeller and Bronfman families, and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Grumble…
