Today is a holiday. March first commemorates the 1919 uprising against the Japanese colonial rule. I’ve blogged about it [broken link! FIXME] before, but I read something interesting in the wikithing article on the topic today: “A delegation of overseas Koreans, from Japan, China, and Hawaii, sought to gain international support for independence at the ongoing Paris Peace Conference. The United States and Imperial Japan blocked the delegation’s attempt to address the conference.” (Emphasis added by me). Not to be a hater, but, looking at the historical record, ain’t it wonderful how my own country stands up so consistently for human rights?
I spent the day with my sometime friend / sometime boss Curt. I’ll post more later.
