A couple years after the mad cow protests, Korea is now the number 1 importer of U.S. beef. Surprisingly, after revelations that the U.S. military probably buried a shit load of Agent Orange somewhere in Gyeongsangbukdo, I'm rather surprised at how muted the response has been.
Mad cow threat = imaginary, yet it yielded some of the most melodramatic protests in modern history.
Fucking agent orange that was actually buried somewhere = real threat, yet people are rather blaze about the whole thing. They just seem to say, damn American bastards, and then go on their way.
Kind of strange.

Very strange. Give it time ... I am sure the special interest groups will get people whipped into a frenzy soon enough. Once they figure out how they can use it to promote their particular axe.
