[내영혼의 쉼터] (5) 경북 청도 적천사- 절집에 들르다 고송에 걸린 안온한 정적 사진설명: 적천사 절집마당과 연못위로 적막한 뙤약볕이 쏟아 내리고 있다. 눅눅한 번뇌와 망상들은 이 풍경속에서 마침내 뽀송뽀송해 질 것이다. 오른쪽에 서 있는 절집이 무차루이고, 무차루뒤로 보이는 두 개의 기둥이 괘불탱을 거는 당간지주이다. 적막을 이기지 못해 절집을 나오는 이들도 있고,그 적막이 좋아서 절집으로 들어가는 이들도 있다. 신라 신문왕 때의 여승 설요(薛瑤)는 앞의 사례에 해당하는 사람이다. 모습이 아름다웠다는 설요는 스물한 살 되던 해에 한시(返俗謠) 한 줄을 ....... [Link] You would think that since the world has been undergoing global cooling since 1998 after the exposure of NASA’s James Hansen’s intentionally incorrect arithmetic, that the scaremongering would end but I should have known better: No one can overestimate the harmful effects of rapid climate change. Countries around the world, especially advanced economies, are stepping up their efforts to fight global warming. However, their action has not been enough to drastically reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. More efforts are needed to prevent catastrophic consequences and to save the Earth before it is too late. South Korea ... [Link] Orion Cough Drops (목의보감) Also in bags.

My son, En-Uk, had chosen a bag of medicinal candy from among Orion Confectionery 's fine selection to give me for my throat as a birthday present. He must have noticed my regular, mildly asthmatic cough, which seems worse here in Seoul than in other places that I've lived, probably due to the bad air and ... [Link] Ruben Navarette, Jr. had it right in his article over on CNN : that was cheap and divisive. And if you think that West Virginia and Kentucky aren't very working-class and white, and that Clinton's not doing all she can to use that, you're living in fantasyland. Her little WINK*WINK quip: "Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again." Talk about Reagan-era "code words" and veiled racial politicking. It isn't nearly Willie Horton , but Clinton indeed sounds more like some conservative, southern Republican stumping straight outta the 60's, rather than the dyed-in-the-wool "liberal" she's supposed ... [Link] No time for a proper post, but this McClatchy article is very interesting: Amid a national outpouring of grief over a huge earthquake, China has relaxed its grip — perhaps briefly — on the Internet and some media outlets.

Now the Korea Times reports on another step taken towards the new Dongdaemun Design Park . Dongdaemun Stadium, the nation's first modern sports facility, is fading from Korea's sports history ― the demolition of the football stadium began Wednesday following that of the baseball stadium last month. The former baseball stadium is on the right. Built in 1926 during Japanese colonial rule, it was the symbol of Korea's modern sports, with various international matches ...

[Link] For those who read FeetManSeoul.com , you know that Steve Aoki -- perhaps the world's most famous DJ -- came to Seoul. If you went to the show, you also might know that he rocked the house. Also, Cut Chemist, formerly DJ for the Jurassic Five and who really tore up the turntables, was in total effect. Both the Chemist and Aoki definitely kept the crowd entranced. I also got snapped by the (in)famous, super-duper party photographer, The Cobrasnake . It's an honor to have been shooting with him, and to make the Cobra Snake party page. He definitely has ... [Link] I was asked a few months ago to be one of the “84 of Asia’s most influential and respected restaurant critics” to participate in the preliminary submissions and judging to the new Miele Guide. It’s basically the Michelin or Zagat Guide for Asia. I’d say it’s a welcome publication in this culinarily exciting yet confusing corner of the world. As for my participation, anyone who knows me knows that I don’t go to many of the fine restaurants in Seoul. I don’t have the time, I don’t want to spend the money, and frankly, I’ve been disappointed with most of ... [Link] Kaplan explains how we could invade Burma and how it would work. (Thanks Eddie!)

[Link] I found these signs, all over the Ginza subway line in Tokyo, to be interesting in light of earlier and somewhat debated post on Japundit. Share This [Link] Bill Kauffman 's brilliant review of the good doctor's manifesto — You Say You Want a Revolution? — contains this horrific anecdote: The most memorable personal tale he tells is of watching in horror as a medical resident at the University of Pittsburgh in the mid-’60s, when a six-month-old aborted fetus was dumped “in a bucket in the corner of the room. The baby tried to breathe, and tried to cry, and everyone in the room pretended the baby wasn’t there.” [Link] "What issue could be so important that it unites Northern Ireland’s four main political parties?" asks Andrew Cusack — Norn Iron Unites . Click on the link for the answer. [Link] It seems like every few months there’s yet another court ruling as to the constitutionality of Japan’s defense forces. Apparently, Americans are following suit with regard to the Iraq war. New Jersey Peace Action et al. v. Bush , represented by the Constitutional Law Clinic at Rutgers University Law School-Newark, alleges that the war violates article I, section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, which assigns to Congress the authority to declare war. Clinic director Frank Askin said the framers at the 1787 constitutional convention denied war-making powers to the president except in response to sudden attacks when Congress might not ...

This time around, I've chosen the "Sage of Batavia" Bill Kauffman 's long awaited new release, Ain't My America: The Long, Noble History of Anti-War Conservatism and Middle-American Anti-Imperialism . Here are two reviews previously linked to on this blog, by Thomas Woods and Daniel McCarthy respectively — Come Home, Conservatives!—to the Antiwar Conservative Movement and Fewer Bases, More Baseball . I was convinced of Mr. Kauffman's sagacity with Look Homeward America: In Search of Reactionary Radicals and Front-Porch Anarchists ... [Link] The WSJ has an op-ed on the recent Abkhaz-Georgian-Russian tensions which for anyone following it, offers mainly a summary of the situation up until now recounting especially Georgian mistakes while spending little time on Russia. In fact, it fails to clearly define Russia’s role. While most articles continue to refer to Russian “peacekeepers” it seems a glaring oversight not to note that ongoing and very public threats against Georgia by Moscow makes it clear there are no peacekeepers in Abkhazia or South Ossetia but instead occupation troops. In what other conflict has the side (UN, NATO , AU) whose job ... [Link] I’m surprised someone hadn’t thought of doing something stupid like this earlier: There are all kinds of "evildoers" in Iraq, and military officials are seeking to put an end to a rather unusual one. According to messages posted in a military newspaper for Camp Anaconda, near Balad, Army authorities are seeking the "Porta-John Arsonist," the person responsible for torching at least four of the portable latrines since the beginning of April. The fires — in various housing pods of the base — caused an estimated damage of $4,000, officials said. No injuries were reported in the incidents. [ Stars & ...

[Link] Last week I linked to Ryuganji's great translation of a Sai Yochi interview, about his experiences making the movie SOO. Well, Don (of Ryuganji) is back for more, with yet another Sai Yochi interview -- this one even more interesting and critical, but definitely a must-read. FYI, SOO was made by Triz Club, Co., a movie company that I have never heard of before. So when Sai talks about the two producers he dealt with, I cannot really comment on who they might be. Although I should note that Sai calls them "386 generation" guys and in their mid-thirties -- ... [Link] As you can tell by the map at the Korea Gig Guide , I originally planned on talking about good restaurants and other shops in Hongdae and around Korea on my blog(s). Never really happened though, in part because I am lazy, but also because I am not very happy with how this map looks and want to upgrade it some time before too long. Today, however, I was walking around Hongdae (the area around Hongik University, for the uninitiated) and ran across so many interesting little shops and restaurants, I felt compelled to write a little something. This is ... [Link] Five years and going, the Iraq War has been subject to more spin, hyperbole and misinformation that anything else in our time. According to Douglas Feith, in his new book War and Decision , the two biggest errors of the Bush administration were: (1) Not communicating clearly the multifaceted reasons for going to Iraq and (2) allowing an occupation government (i.e. the CPA ) to be set up, something which we had intentionally avoided in Afghanistan. He notes that although the issue of physical stockpiles of WMD have been the main point of criticism, it was one of many reasons ... [Link] He "died in his brother's arms at a London bakery after being slashed across the throat after he refused to be goaded into a fight with his assailant" — British Catholic teen killed at bakery . I have never understood the idea that it is somehow dishonorable to avoid an unnecessary fight. It must be a leftover from pagan Europe. I once avoided a fight with a middle-school bully who tried to start one with me for no reason. (He later went into hiding after a drug dealer he turned in got out of jail; it was a pleasure, I'm ... [Link] Our favorite counterinsurgency/Afghanistan expert is back: Ann Marlowe has a shiny new cover story in the Weekly Standard about how perfect the counterinsurgency is in RC-East: While news reports like to speak of a “resurgent Taliban” in Afghanistan, in the 14 provinces that make up Regional Command East in Afghanistan they are a defeated military force. Not only do the Taliban refuse to engage American forces directly, they have not won an engagement with the Afghan National Army in a year. Even the unimpressive Afghan National Police have lately been winning battles with the insurgents. That’s funny, I was under ... [Link] Steve Sailer — who else? — offers this baseless but fun speculation — Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. to run for Libertarian nomination for President . Mr. Sailer: Back during the Clinton impeachment, when blacks loved the Clintons and hated Barr for helping get Bill impeached, black radio talk shows would be flooded with calls saying things like, "Barr is passing. My cousin told me he's his cousin's cousin." And if that's not proof, I don't know what is.

[Link] That's how I read this story — Arrested For Assaulting Cop with M&Ms . One thing I've learned from more than thirteen years living in other countries is that American policing is not the norm. Here in Korea, it is not uncommon to see older motorists verbally abusing police officers, behavior that would get you hauled back to the station in the US. In demonstrations, police are often subjected to physical abuse, but show restraint in order that tensions might not escalate. In "the land of the free and the home of the brave," tossing a piece of candy at ... [Link] The esteemed milblogger behind ROK Drop on "another reason why [he] do[es] not buy TIME magazine" — TIME Magazine Advocates for Invading Burma . He counters with some foreign policy realism: I wonder if TIME’s editors think while the US military is busy invading Burma whether or not they should just go roll in and invade Tibet as well? The TIME editor makes it sound like it would all just be so easy if the US military will just show up and the Burmese military will just give up and everyone will be singing kumbayah. Where have I heard this ... [Link] In a must-read, Muslim Abu Hatem clearly articulates why "classical conservatives, classical liberals, traditionalists, believers in natural law and natural rights, and members of the Abrahamic faiths have rejected the all-encompassing welfare state" — The Problem with Welfare . [Link] Okay. I get the Jero thing. He’s of mixed race, from the States, with a Japanese grandmother to whom he promised he would one day be an enka star. And now he is. Hip hop costume and all. Not many people sing enka these days. Hitomi Shimatani , a fading pop-star, originally debuted as an enka singer, before moving on to do, well, pop. So, I think it’s incredibly cool that Jero has carved out a place for himself. Plus he sounds lovely. You don’t necessarily need to understand Japanese to get the start of this video, which displays photos ... [Link] Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration, reviews Patrick J. Buchanan's new book of the above title — How Empires Fall . The first paragraph: In a new book that will infuriate the fake conservatives who inhabit the Republican Party, Patrick J. Buchanan documents how British self-righteousness, delusion, and hubris destroyed both the British Empire and Western ascendancy in two unnecessary wars launched by a small cabal of morons that ruled Britain. This is of note: "It was Churchill, not Hitler, who first targeted civilian populations in World War II and caused the structure of ...

My fellow Americans, a reminder of the crimes financed by your tax dollars: videotaping and photographing naked male and female detainees; forcibly arranging detainees in various sexually explicit positions for photographing; forcing detainees to remove their clothing and keeping them naked for several days at a time; forcing naked male detainees to wear women's underwear; forcing groups of male detainees to masturbate ...

A account of her life for those unfamiliar with the great woman: First of all, unlike the vast majority of saints who were priests or religious, she was a layperson -- an unwed mother, at that -- who launched her movement without seeking any authorization from the Church. She shows the great freedom in the Church and the responsibility we all have to listen to God's call and to respond in faith to the challenges of our time in history. She showed how to join the practice of ... [Link] A reader in Glasgow, Scotland sends in the following questions: What do you think the feeling is of the younger generation within South Korea to North Korea? What do you think the general feeling amongst younger South Koreans towards reunification? The short answer is that young South Koreans appear to regard the North Korean regime as less evil than the Korean War generation does, but they also do not admire it as many 386ers seem to. Most youth seem apathetic when it comes to reunification, accepting the status quo for an indeterminate amount of time. A caveat; I haven’t been ... [Link] Two stories — Pope Reminds Spouses of their "Responsibility To Generate New Children and Archbishop: For the Clergy Obedience to Church "Requires Preaching About the Moral Evil of Contraception" Said Flannery O'Connor on the subject, "The Church's stand on birth control is the most absolutely spiritual of all her stands and with all of us being materialists at heart, there is little wonder that it causes unease."

Gerald Hammond , pictured above in one of my favorite pictures of a priest, profiled — Maryknoll missionary follows in steps of missionary bishop in North Korea . The good father describes his visits to the north "like participating in a pilgrimage, because that land is holy." [Link] (Modified from here .) The above image may or may not amuse you, but there are other reasons to use Bart Simpson to make a point - mainly that cartoons are useful for communicating ideas quickly, precisely because they are often so removed from reality (why are the emergency instructions in the seat pocket on the airplane illustrated instead of using photos?). Here are two images with American flags. It's quite easy, without knowing anything about the characters, to have some sense of how they feel about the U.S. After having a look around michincow.net, I've come to wonder if ...

Police were called to a domestic disturbance on Saturday night in Atsuta. Six officers were dispatched to the scene and the man walked out onto the road to greet them, carrying an 18-liter jerry can filled with kerosene. He walked about 200 meters along the road, pouring kerosene over his head as he did so on three separate occasions, using about 5 liters of the flammable liquid.

[Link] Just another reason why I do not buy TIME magazine: Burma’s rulers have relented slightly, agreeing Friday to let in supplies and perhaps even some foreign relief workers. The government says it will allow a US C-130 transport plane to land inside Burma Monday. But it’s hard to imagine a regime this insular and paranoid accepting robust aid from the U.S. military, let alone agreeing to the presence of U.S. Marines on Burmese soil — as Thailand and Indonesia did after the tsunami. The trouble is that the Burmese haven’t shown the ability or willingness to deploy the kind of ...

[Link] Three days into a trip in Japan and my mother and I were sitting in a coffee shop in Kyoto. In came a foreigner (meaning, a white woman) with two kids. I knew they were trouble, the sort of children to whom everything–including bad behavior–is “explained,” which seems to be a trend in child-rearing these days.

If you scream, you will have to play outside.” The girl kept screaming. After the ... [Link] Did she really just say that? Ouuuuuch. (HT to ExpatJane ) [Link] Echoing none other than Judge Andrew P.

[Link] Sandro Magister reports on the 1300-page treatise by Professor Carlo Fantappiè — Saint Pius X, a Backward Pope? No, an Unprecedented Cyclone of Reform . An excerpt: Pius X rejected the philosophical modernization proposed by modernist Catholics. He saw this as a surrender to the secular culture that was eroding the truths of the faith. But he was a decisive modernizer of the juridical and institutional form of the Church, taking from the liberal states of the time the structures that he believed were compatible with the theological nature of the Church itself.

[Link] IRON MAN continued strong for a second weekend, taking in nearly $5 million, bringing its total 12-day take to over $18 million (or 2.8 million admissions). SPEED RACER did relatively well in Korea (at least compared to its disastrous opening in the United States), with 424,000 admissions, or $2.74 million. TAKEN is still doing bizarrely well in Korea, bringing its one-month total to $13.5 million. I have no real explanation for its success here.

The business of conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected. Quoted by Elena Maria Vidal — Beyond Left and Right . [Link] Here's a fatwa and a jihad we can all get behind — Muslim clerics declare war on condoms . "A lot of money is being wasted to poison our community ... a huge amount of money is spent on buying condoms, buying immorality," said Sheikh Mohamud Ali. The cleric went on to say, "We are not opposed to the Ministry of Health's campaigns to fight HIV/AIDS, but we are concerned that they are using the wrong way, which is not acceptable to our tradition and religion."

[Link] To quote from Arstechnica’s article comparing various national broadband policies: The government requires local loop unbundling so that new ISPs can emerge without having to rewire the last mile every time. The government also has a 34 percent stake in NTT , one of the major telecoms, and has ordered it to deploy fiber whether or not it shows a profit; broadband is considered a key piece of infrastructure that can’t simply be deployed only where it is profitable. The government also subsidizes a third of the cost of all fiber-to-the-home deployments in rural areas, where rolling out new lines ...

She "saw her own mother beaten to death, survived a throat-slashing, spent the night in the woods sheltering a baby, then carried that baby to safety." On her first night in the hospital, "Lindsay wouldn't go to sleep until nurses brought her sister, the little baby she carried out of the woods to safety, to her to cradle."

If you can’t read the hangeul, is says, “Screw.” Lao-ocean-girl claims, “ Big screws are refreshing .” Okay, guys, wipe the drool from the keyboard. [Link] I’m of the opinion that there is good Engrish in the world. Sometimes, Japanese-style reconfigured English finds nuances in language and word play, and expresses an emotion or observation so much better than a irony-saturated native speaker could possibly do. This mail box, which I photographed in Kyoto, was an example of wonderful Engrish (at least to me). And this sign . . . not so good. I’m pretty sure that the “automatically full” references a toilet bowl with automated flushing capacity. Certainly this sign is at least bathroom related. Anyway, I pushed the button.

I couldn’t offer any opinion on what role he played in the abuses, or what he did about it, because I just don’t know. But his title as commander as one of the most notorious American geopolitical missteps in the Muslim world, choosing him to represent us in a country like Pakistan seemed particularly tone deaf.

He beings by noting that he has "no trouble understanding that some people cannot give intellectual assent to faith" and has "long known atheists and agnostics," "none of [whom] are angry." Of these, he says, "they respect the role Christianity played in creating our civilization" and that his "nonbelieving friends are conservatives, and it is hardly possible for a conservative to hate the font of Western civilization."

[Link] Ziga Vodovnik interviews Howard Zinn — Rebels Against Tyranny . There is, of course, much with which to disagree, but overall, it's a valuable read, especially the parts about the philosophy's American history: One of the problems with dealing with anarchism is that there are many people whose ideas are anarchist, but who do not necessarily call themselves anarchists. The word was first used by Proudhon in the middle of the 19th century, but actually there were anarchist ideas that proceeded Proudhon, those in Europe and also in the United States. For instance, there are some ideas of Thomas Paine, ...

The first paragraph: Bill Kauffman writes prose—history, novels, journalism—but he is a poet and a prophet.

It dawned on me just yesterday what a genius Dr. Ron Paul is. It was never about getting the nomination; it was about getting the ideas of the Founders back into the political discourse.

[Link] In his latest pangyric to the Zionist Entity, the pseudonymous Asia Times Online columnist "Spengler" argues that "Israelis appear to love life and hate death more than any other nation" — Why Israel is the world's happiest country . He came to this conclusion by "plot[ting] the fertility rate versus the suicide rate of 35 industrial countries, that is, the proportion of people who choose to create new life against the proportion who choose to destroy their own." It's a useful methodology, one worthy of further application. Good for Israel, I say. Spengler, a notorious Islamophobe, conveniently leaves out any ... [Link] Daniel Everett with Pirahã Man Piraña?

ShareThis [Link] News from Abkhazia seems to be a broke record these days. The Abkhaz news agency is claiming that two more Georgian drones were shot down today. So what is going on? As far as I can tell, the drone in question is an Elbit Hermes 450 , an Israeli made UAV . However, I haven’t found any details regarding Georgia’s purchase or use of them as neither the Georgian Ministry of Defense nor Globalsecurity.org’s Georgia section have further information.
