Seriously, check out this excellent video of an interview with a North Korean defector. Some really horrific stuff talked about in a matter of fact attitude. A beacon of the human spirit near the end where she mentions that even with all of these things most of us blessed to be born in the USA would be shocked and paralyzed by, the regular people of North Korea still laugh and love (10:58).
I guess the SA isn't going to let me add the link. you can find it on YouTube, just put, "North Korean defectors talk about North Korea" in the search box.
