My Take On The Iranian election
I am so upset with the news coverage of the election in Iran, I normally don't like to get political BUT...
1. Tehran is not representative of all of Iran, living in South Korea, most people equate Seoul (especially the South Side) to be representative of what South Korea is all about and those same people are the ones I want to punch in the mouth...
2. Most of the people the "Western Media" interviewed from the demonstrations spoke English, and the people that can tweet from their cell phones, iPhones, or other computer devices are probably well to do and we all know the "Well to do" is a minority in any country you live in...
3. Where's the interviews of the people that live outside of Tehran??? Whatever happened to objective & balanced reporting???
4. The United States is a hypocrite when it comes to vote count manipulation, we do remember the Gore/Bush election, don't we??? The State of Minnesota still doesn't have a senator, as China once told the United States, clean up your own back yard before you criticize us about our human rights...
Sorry, ladies & gents, just venting because I was so PO'd from all the BS commentary I've been hearing...

Ex President's Suicide Note
Roh Moo hyun's suicide note
(I am) indebted to too many people.
Many have suffered too much because of me.
The pain that will come is unfathomable.
The rest of (my) life would only burden others.
(I) cannot do anything due to bad health.
(I) cannot read nor write.
Do not grieve too much.
Aren't life and death a piece of nature?
Do not feel sorry.
Do not blame anyone.
It is fate.
Cremate (me).
And just leave a very small stone slab near home.
(I) have thought (about it) for a long time.
(Saved on his home computer file at 5:44 a.m. Saturday. File titled, "Many have suffered too much because of me.")
