Forum for learning more about Korea

First I was very happy to see the column by John Redmond concerning the upcoming Royal Asiatic Society Korea lecture by Kim Dong-jin about the life of Homer B. Hulbert. There is, however, one typo that might scare people away. The cost of a lecture for non-members is 7,000 won, not 70,000 won. Seventy thousand won is the cost of a year's membership in the organization.

Stop misuse of presidential pardons

In many countries around the world, leaders have the right to pardon individuals. In some hands this is a responsible tool used to right a miscarriage of justice. But it can also be a political act that promotes cronyism and undermines the rule of law. Just such a move outraged people in South Korea when on Jan. 29 outgoing President Lee Myung-bak issued pardons to 55 people,...

I doubt the term "ugly Koreans" only came from Koreans going overseas to buy sex. When I travel to other countries, I can always spot other Koreans.

I commend the thousands of people who took part in Dublin’s pro-life rally. Legalized abortion is a right protected by a false freedom.

They will succeed in removing “something” from their wombs that today they find bothersome, but will not remove the crime they commit from their minds and hearts.

Unclear, puzzling story

The article on page 3 of your Jan. 12-13 newspaper about a seven-month-old Korean-born baby adopted by U.S. parents is unclear, puzzling and lacking in certain important details. In the best interest of the child, I believe your readers deserve to hear the whole story.

Toward peaceful horizon in 2013

The thought-provoking article by John J. Metzler entitled "Global horizon in New Year"(Opinion, Jan. 3, 2013) stimulates a fundamental question: what should be done to have a really peaceful 2013 in the Asia-Pacific area, a region in which many strategic miscalculations have been committed in previous and current centuries?

Helping children, saving world

Young children need our help. A lot of sad, devastating and scary news that is seen on a daily basis can leave our children emotionally hurt throughout their lives.The tragic shooting at a Connecticut school on Dec. 14, for example, saw 20 children killed, leaving lifelong emotional scars to people who witnessed the murderous rampage. According to the New York Times, the surv...

Cherishing good food

Thank you for your Dec. 27 article ("Bakery war deepening," p. 16) that brings to the attention of your readers the growing and destructive problem of the "big" business that enters a neighborhood and takes over the "small" long-established family store.
