Korea has been about what I have expected so far. It's not a bad place to be the hardest part of being here is the separation from my lovely wife and kids. I have learned to talk to God a lot more while be here, but recently have had trouble with my daily devotionals (that needs to improve!) I miss out on so much news with the time difference and as my brother said recently the news is so depressing lately why bother.
I have come across a couple stories of interest, one being the tax hike on cigarettes. I am not a smoker and I can't stand the habit myself, but I just can't help but feel there is something fundamentally wrong with taxing a small percentage of the population to pay for a government program. I understand why they did it, it is easy to tax something the populace sees as a bad thing, however I think a tax on alcohol would have covered a larger group of people and done a better service to the country then taxing cigarettes.
The other story of interest is the bailout of the auto companies. It just seems wrong that the president or any part of government is now telling a company what to make, and how to run a business. We are just inching closer and closer to socialism in our country and for those who ask "Whats wrong with that?" Please go and read animal farm again.
More from me later. Those interested in an easy game to share with friends click here
