Now, you may have heard that North Korea is nice this time of year. No pollution staining the skies, and plenty of missiles going off to keep things exciting.
Now I have nothing against Kim Jong-il and his merry band of artillery, besides the fact he seems to like firing off lots of big guns for no apparent reason.
Isn't he beautiful? Who would want to eat this little guy? Image by Richard Ling via Flickr.
I was reading this lovely article earlier from the New York Times this afternoon. Turns out North Korea fired about 110 rounds of artillery into a disputed patch of ocean. This move raised tensions between North and South Korea.
It doesn’t help that South Korea has been practicing aggressive naval tactics after the North commandeered one of their squid fishing boats. Seriously, North Korea, leave these poor squid fishers alone! You have nothing to gain from commandeering their boats! Besides squid. And I doubt you’re that desperate.
The solution to all this bickering?
Ban squid fishing and missile firing. There. Happy?

Or, to keep everybody happy, ban anything to do with squid fishing in NORTH Korea and anything to do with missile firing in SOUTH korea.
ooh, that would work too. But squids are so cute! Nobody should fish them! (is that proper grammar? …fish them?)
haha no Rika, the correct grammar would be “hunt them” or “go fishing for them”
Ahem… Squids are some of the only plentiful and commercially demanded seafood left. While it does not exactly please my palate, squid breed quick and die quick, so they can be fished without renew-ably. Which is more than we can say for Alaskan Cod, Wild Salmon, and Hattic (sp?). BUT! perhaps fishing in these waters wouldn’t be the best idea ever…
true, true. Although they’re super cute! Hey, you should write an article about seafood, Jane!
And about how some people fish certain kinds of fish too much!
