Now here is some festivities in Korea. I am sure people would have some snarky comments about them but I am glad they are celebrating, like I went to Carnival in Quebec years ago..know nothing of the history, spiritual background etc. but I did not make fun of them for dressing up like onions. I say to each his or her own and if people can have a spiritual day, or a important family history day, or just a day of harmless fun and recreation in this world of woe, just let them be. You don't have to enjoy them or participate yourselves, being far above that nonsense. If they are disturbing the peace then call the police on them. Otherwise, I say get off your high horses and let people enjoy the scraps of their heritage they have left, or other people not of the heritage enjoy it just as a good time. mg
