Virtual Politics
Re: [Opinion] Internet Party Members
Korea is rapidly becoming a virtual society. Due to the complex stratification based on the Confucian code of age and status, people find unparalleled freedom on-line. This freedom is bought at the expense of real community and relationships, however. "Netizens" are free to spout off any absurd view and engage in mass cyber-campaigns, without ever having to worry about responsibilty for their actions. The Internet has become a virtual mob.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
