My wife’s grandmother, Soon Nam Char, was a picture bride. Orphaned in Korea when the Japanese killed her stiff-necked parents, she came to America in the early 20th century as part of an arranged marriage. My wife’s grandfather, who had come to Hawaii from Korea as a contract laborer, picked Soon Nam’s picture out of a book and signed a contract committing to work in the sugarcane fields in Hawaii for 13 months to pay her passage.

Quotes of the Day:We know what the birth of a revolution looks like: A student stands before a tank. A fruit seller sets himself on fire. A line of monks link arms in a human chain. Crowds surge, soldiers fire, gusts of rage pull down the monuments of tyrants, and maybe, sometimes, justice rises from the flames. – Nancy Gibbs"Defeat is simply a signal to press onward." – Helen KellerA creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. – Ayn Rand1.

It is available, free of charge, beneath the fold. No, Tariffs Don’t Fuel GrowthRates were high in the 19th century, but the economy boomed most when the rates were at their lowest.
