Them ol' Southern salt marshes-old ways there R not forgot...

Came across this in today's paper; Strictly under:" remove the log from your own eye before removing the speck from dear leader kims' eye"...MOST DISTURBING in a democratic military ally who's only excuse is: "well that's just how it is" http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/living-hell-disabled-slaves-south-korean-islands-27952337 ..."Slavery thrives on rural islands off South Korea's rugged southwest coast, nurtured by a long history of exploitation and the demands of trying to squeeze a living from the sea.
Two-thirds of South Korea's sea salt is produced at more than 850 salt farms on dozens of islands in Sinan County, including Sinui island, where half the 2,200 residents work in the industry. Workers spend grueling days managing a complex network of waterways, hoses and storage areas.
Five times during the last decade, revelations of slavery involving the disabled have emerged. Kim's case prompted a nationwide government probe of thousands of farms and disabled facilities that found more than 100 workers who'd received no, or scant, pay.
Yet little has changed on the islands, according to a months-long investigation by the AP based on court and police documents and dozens of interviews with freed slaves, salt farmers, villagers and officials.
Although 50 island farm owners and regional job brokers were indicted, national police say no local police or officials will face punishment, despite multiple interviews showing some knew about the slaves and even stopped escape attempts.
Soon after the national investigation, activists and police found another 63 unpaid or underpaid workers on the islands, three-quarters of whom were mentally disabled." ...http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2894429/South-Korea-s-dark-secret-Remote-islands-families-send-mentally-disabled-relatives-work-slaves-salt-farms.html (better pics)
