...enrich uranium for bombs. The level of mistrust on both sides is deep and abiding. "It's never a straight line from point A to point B, no matter what [the agreement] the North has signed might say,'' acknowledges one diplomat involved in the six-party talks. "You obviously hope for the best, but you're always on your guard, and you just keep working it." Hill himself acknowledged the most obvious potential deal breaker is the alleged uranium-enrichment program. The U.S. claims Pyongyang admitted to such a program when confronted in 2002, but North Korean officials have since...

...slug your kid. This other father gets the money. The other guy's kid is happy--he gets a night off from being slugged. Only your kid has no obvious reason to be happy, at least in the short run. In the longer run, he will surely be eager to take advantage of a market in "parent bashing." In fact, for a larger fee, he will some day be able to go to your nursing home and unplug your ventilator. And somewhere in the underdeveloped world, five or even 10 elderly persons will get medicines they otherwise couldn't afford...
