Howdy,

I was watching CNN today and saw what I think is a Mercedes 600 that the N Korean leader is being paraded around in.

HMMMM, kind of a materialistic car for a devout Communist. Wonder where he gets his parts from?

Hardly materialistic, Mr Kim just needed a reliable car to get around the rough roads of North Korea with a few aides. Besides, its not like he's blowing a load of cash on a new Maybach; he got this one handed down from his dad who bought it second hand from the Chinese for cheap.

I think the key here is he is a devout Communist Leader. They have had all the luxurys while the people that did all the work starve.

Try to find the book "Animal Farm" at your library.

Or, if you're a patient on-line type, try:
