#1 Ok. Do these two sentances contradict each other, or is it the lack of coffee as of yet this morning?
"But the toxicant is harmful not only to rice plants but also to human bodies and environment."

#3 Ah. I did read it wrong. The old is the baddie and the new is not. I'm going to go and get an IV drip of caffeine before I comment any more today. *rubbing eyes*

#4 The same site also has an "Anecdote about Kim Jong Il":" -- Kim Jong Il was present at an aesthetics seminar of writers and artistes in January Juche 59 (1970). A critic made a speech with words adopted from a foreign language. The participants could understand his speech because all of them were artistic experts.
But Kim Jong Il stopped his speech and criticized him of using borrowed words instead of home-grown words. He said it was a manifestation of the lack of the serve-the-people spirit to use words difficult for others to understand or words adopted from foreign languages." - I think that speaks for itself-El Id.
