6.21.08 The gases drenched the crowd in gradient hues sandpapering our throats, the water cannons bulldozed through the evening. Protesters were throwing waterballoons and water bottles at police who threw rocks and bottles of urine. A rock hit my chest as my outrage bruised my mind on the police barrier punching through the line between the vinegar drenched sky and the red flag. Some were spraying cans of enamel into the riot buses, others bludgeoning the buses as people on the sidelines watched. The police emerged from the barricade as people dispersed as droplets on a windshield driving on a highway, as groups dragged out individual policemen and began brutalizing them, terrifying moments.
What I do not understand is why 3 in 5 Koreans supported the FTA during President Roh's term (ChosunIlbo 4.4.07), which was heavily criticized for poor foreign relations. President Lee has actually addressed these concerns by signing on to the FTA and making significant progress towards North Korea's nuclear disarmament in his Vision 3000 plan replacing the Sunshine Policy [controversial]. His canal project, entirely self-funded through an innovative idea of funds by selling sand and gravel in the construction process that cleans the rivers, could revolutionize the mass transit and bulk transport of goods in Korea, however, 32 million people's water supply could be jeopardized in the process while submerging Buddhist relics. 80 professors at Seoul National University oppose the initiative. There is a disparity between researched figures $50 billion and the president's $16 billion claim. The problem is that the waterway appears divisive on Korean topography. The Chungyechon Stream development initiative that completely transformed underdeveloped slums into an urban waterway was once criticized for high cost and the possibility of traffic issues. From a president who declares that he would donate all his assets to society, I don't understand why these issues are occurring.
7.1.08 - 7.2.08 The Catholic priests promulgated rice porridge textured sermons to the masses congregated in the field interspersed with bags of dirt. There were acoustic songs and an anxious feeling of cameraderie as people greeted and embraced each other. There was a man who stood in the center yelling information and people completely ignored and gave him derogatory glances. I felt an extreme embarrassment as I tried to yell for democracy as the peaceful vigil slowly and quietly marched through the streets with the movement of an oil spill spreading.
