I think that one reason that people advoid the subject of what is going on in Korea is that it is completely out of our area of influence. There is nothing that we can do to stop or affect what is going to happen and unlike the tabloid stories we argue about, this one does have the potential to change and ruin our lives.

Sometimes sticking your head in the sand can sound very tempting.
