Bovine-Related Madness in Media
Bomb English gets down to the holes in the mad cow tempest engulfing ROK (well, just Gotham Seoul). Michael and Jennifer cover a lot of material, a true resource for ESL teachers and Americans who might be feeling retaliatory about Seoulites' obsession with technical details of beef trade (via TMV). Kudos!
But, let's not go as far as both conservative and liberal ideologues want to take South Korean safety concerns.
Negotiations to reflect concerns about beef safety, eh? Boy, I'd love to be in the room for those talks:
Korean negotiator: The Korean public is deeply worried about the safety of US beef.
American negotiator: The Korean public's concerns are bullshit.
Korean negotiator: Yes, but public perception is no less important than rational judgment.Sen. Baucus is going to have a field day with this. Goodbye, FTA. Hello, Super 301.
Democracy is the best form of government, to abuse Churchill's quote, until these sorts of issues drain enthusiasm for popular rule. But, it's better than rule by despotic pique.
