extremely cool visual!!!and a very sad story...this is voteworthy

Great Map, excellent message!

Very nicely done! Agre with WZRD: that's a clear but not offensive mesage. A respectable way of makin' a manifestation.

Very creative use of Bryce. Well done! And a powerful statement too.

Nice visual image, but the American people have been misled about what is going on in North Korea. I attended a talk/slideshow by an American attorney who has been to North Korea recently & he painted a very different picture of the situation there. According to his observations (& his group was free to go where they wanted), there didn't appear to be shortages of food (people freely offered them food in abundance & unguarded stockpiles of food were common along the roadsides) & most of the people he saw & interviewed were relatively content & not fearful of their government. There was severe starvation there several years ago due to very bad flooding, but they have recovered. The U.S. government (under both democratic & republican administrations) has been responsible for a lot of the isolation & demonization of North Korea (similar to the way we treated Iraq), for our own cynical geo-political ends. I'm not naive - I know the governments of Iraq & North Korea have been guilty of some serious wrongdoing - but to ignore the complicity of the U.S. in creating & perpetuating these situations is to ignore reality.

From direct personal eyewitness accounts from military friends on the line in S.Korea, I couldn't disagree more strongly with eyeland's statment above. The only thing the U.S. is guilty of in North Korea's circumstances is the past government not taking even more direct action to help overthrow the North Korean regime that is, in fact, being horrendously repressive to its people. And further, the current seeming U.S. inaction is only on the surface, because there are, in fact, many things at work in the world that don't get international news coverage -- covert actions, weapons shipment intercepts, and politcal pressure that is subtle and through proxy. Their isolation and misery is due to their own corrupt leadership, and the day will come when it collapses from within. Unlike Iraq, attacking North Korea directly would be doing exactly what their little tin-horn leader wants. What was the difference between them an Iraq? Clinton's appeasement policy, feeding nuclear supplies and missile technology to their regime was the main misstep, and that mercifully ended around 4 years ago; North Korea's dictatorship continues to try to sell this technology and related products to global terror concerns everywhere. The U.S. is not responsible for all problems everywhere just because of its strength and resources; I don't think this type of accusation is fair or accurate. Nothing and no one on this planet is perfect, but my country collectively believes in and stands for freedom for all peoples, and has been more active at deposing dictatorships in the last century than the rest of the world combined. Dislike the U.S. if you must, but find a more logical reason for doing so.

"A completely isolated country of concentration camps" (???) Guess which country has the highest percentage of prison population? The US of A, right? "families only a border away are forever separated" Separated by 40.000 US troops, right? Open your eyes, heart and mind. and Servo, I fear your "military friends on the line" have a hard time seeing the truth through all the barbed wire overthere. Just remember what your taxes are spent on: A scar through a country.
