No HIV in North Korea

North Korea has marked World AIDS Day by smugly announcing that it has zero cases. Other than mass starvation, a broken health care system, no reliable food supply, kids who are a foot shorter than their counterparts in the South, and sky-high infant mortality, their system has made the North Korean people extremely healthy.

If there’s any truth to this report, it’s just a matter of time. There may not be, because after all, they tried to tell us there’s no homosexuality there, either.

And when the North Korean system’s disintegration becomes official, the world will see the extreme moral corruption and depravity that come with the destruction of moral absolutes, combined with the distribution of absolute despotic power to a hereditary political class. It will take a profound moral revival to keep North Korea from becoming a nation of bandits, thieves, and pimps.
