Relatedly, it was also interesting last night to see Senator Scott Brown's interaction with President Obama after the SOTU speech, as Obama was gladhanding his way out, when Brown sternly told him the anti-insider-trading bill was ready to go. Interesting that Brown is out front on this, since one of the most egregrious and blatant insider-trading offenders, according to the Schweizer book, is his fellow Massachusetts senator John Kerry.

If you're Mormon, you know that the origin of the coffee/caffeine prohibition comes from Joseph's Smith's revelatory Word of Wisdom decree that members should abstain from 'hot or strong drinks.'
Vague terminology, that. But early Church leaders/prophets interpreted it to mean strictly coffee and tea – but excepting the types of coffees and teas that had no caffeine, such as herbal teas or the decaffeinated coffees that came with later modernity, like Sanka. Thus the ban hinged unequivocally on whether a substance contained caffeine.

But for what? (jk).
(Btw there's probably more caffeine in those 96oz. Mountain Dews that Mormons pick up on their way to work than there is in the Starbucks Latte talls the rest of us do.)

This meant that the South, by devastating and damning contrast, was assumed to be the state founded by those Koreans who were, during the colonization period, the contemptible collaborators with the Japanese, and as well as sellouts and suckups to the West. Any collapse now of the North's system, even so many years along, would risk an undermining of this founding-myth supreme virtue, an admission that they were wrong – an admission they essentially cannot make.

"Kim Jong-il later confessed to me that the reason he kidnapped my wife first was because he wanted me to come and make films for him," Shin Sang-ok said.
