South Korea offers North Olympics talks

BBC

The offer of talks next week comes after the North said it might send a delegation to the Games.

Kim Jong-un continues to rail at Trump even as he dons a Western-style suit and hints at willingness to talk with Seoul about the Olympics. Only two athletes from the North have qualified, but the ROK's Moon has proposed a meeting Jan. 9. Meanwhile POTUS huffs and puffs on Twitter. All democracies would do well to support Taiwan's call for constitutional reform to install democratic values and mechanisms and end North Korea's dangerous programs to develop nuclear weapons. The ultimate goal should be to democratize autocratic states and free their citizens from oppression, and the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development provides a model for all governments to study. §1.4 §6.4 §7.3 §8.3

Education and a college degree are extremely valuable assets in today's world, and all nations should strive to make higher education affordable by offering tuition-free college for all citizens. Free university education is the norm in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Norway, where students pay only 200-500 euros for registration fees. The US and other nations should introduce some of the advances achieved by the Global Village and its laws as part of a paradigm shift. Education should be lifelong and free to give the poor an opportunity to rise in an environment of class mobility.
