In Accusation of Renegade Arrowroot Plant
Vines of arrowroots wind up and around pine trees. Ivies creep around brick walls. Had it not been for the pine trees and the brick walls what would have been the fate of arrowroot vines and ivies? They must have been nothing more than creepers. In brief, they could not have imagined themselves rising in the world, not to mention rising to the top.
With locomotive mouth with light caliber, President Roh Moo Hyun, who had once been impeached within a year of a five-year term by the National Assembly for his divisive activities bordering on brushes with law and order, and almost discharged from the Presidency at the Constitutional Court, did not forsake his age-old habits of picking one's flaws and subsequent conflicts and pitting one section of society with the other.
President Roh took issue with late President Park Jung Hee regime's legitimacy, trying to undermine the reputation of Ms Park Keunhee, one of the dictator's offspring and the chief of the opposition Hannara Party. He criticized the dictatorship, branding it as the object of historical liquidation. He went to great lengths to make Ms Park and her proponents tick, saying that he now feels so ashamed of himself taking the judicial exam in the 1970s during the Park dictatorship and taking a judicial post as a district court judge under the Park regime.
Online citizens stepped forward and tried to take the bull by horns. Putting Roh's mode of life to the question, they made a go of extending and rebutting the proposition of his logic. The extension of the proposition was: If you had lived at the time of the Japanese colony you had also taken the Exam for Higher Officials and done well as a high colonial official. The rebuttal of the proposition was: Go and get your then exam papers, especially the Constitution exam papers public with the nation.
Mr. Roh is compared to a renegade arrowroot plant. He, winding up and around a huge pine tree to his top honor, picks fault with the tree which had given him support. He had not gone to the countryside then and there to farm but taken to big cities to rise in the world and become a coveted high official by responding positive to the Establishment. Now, he tries to hurt Ms Park's image and wreck the opposition party because she is the first daughter of the dictator who had once served as a colonial army officer (he is now on the list of the pro-Japanese collaborators to be enacted in the Congress) and who has literally saved the nation from poverty and destruction.
Mr. Rho's father-in-law is alleged to have been a frantic Communist partisan who had presided over the so-called "People's Court" and executed 10-some locals during the occupation period by the North Korean People's Army at the time of the Korean War in 1950. He is known to have been blind and the way of the verdict for execution was touch and sense the palm. If the hands of the accused were rough enough to feel hard knots on the palms he was classified to be a hard laborer and was able to save his life. A valid question at issue: If the People's Court were to be held to morrow, next month or next year, which is to be found more guilty, the colonial army officer (lieutenant) of 70 years ago and a Commie of 60 years ago who had been engaged in execution of the innocent people whose offsprings can testify to the massacre.
