The Koreans come to Onalaska, Wisconsin!

Guess which one is the Korean girl?

For the record, I reveal here that the second redhead from the left is my daughter.. and the Korean is just to her right! (Heyrim is her Anglicized name).

Megan is to the left, and Brianne to the right...

Our Onalaska United Methodist Church sponsored, for the 2nd year, a large group of young Koreans visiting the USA! (Along with various older Koreans, including Teacher Chong, several other teachers, and a few mothers as well).

Many of the Koreans are Buddhists, and some have no religion whatsoever. Hopefully, by being exposed to midwestern, Christian hospitality and teachings, they are "drawn to the light".

The exchange DOES appear to be having effect!

At any rate, just having them here, and experiencing our Western culture, which they are EMBRACING as the future of THEIR world, as well as our own, bodes very well for the future of the world.... and WESTERN CIVILIZATION in particular!

The future of our world depends on Western Civilization and it's tenets, I believe.

Ironically, those of the Far East (Korea, for instance) have decided that Western Civilization is the future; (they are RIGHT in this assumption), and are surpassing all of us "Westerners" at our own game!

They work harder, (Classroom schedules last 12-16 hours per day), and they have no ideas of "political correctness" that "excuse" poor performance in tests.

Strangely, the future of the West is in....

the EAST!

Remember, the Greeks started Western Civilization.

The Romans took those ideas, and RAN with them!

Later, the Germanic barbarians that overran the Roman empire assumed the empire they had destroyed, and eventually revived it, and remade themselves in it's image.

America invented itself as a revival of Greek/Roman civilization. Concsiously, and with the intent of doing so.

And now, ASIANS are consciously, and with deliberate intent, assuming our Western Culture.
They realize they need to "back a Winner".

Western Civilization is the Winner of the World!

We have the winning template. Ironically, we are abandoning our own supremacy, and OTHER cultures, who recognize superiority, will ASSUME our role, by copying our own culture!!

It may seem extreme in an "old mailman" blog, but it is very true, nevertheless:

Western Civilization is the future of the world. The Orient knows it, but a sizeable portion of the USA hasn't a clue.

The only ones who have lost sight of this are US! (The U.S. and Europe)
