I have had a great deal of interaction with Koreans and feel a fairly strong bond with Korea.

Liberty, freedom and democracy are very fuzzy words, but human rights is very specific.

Internet penetration in Italy is quite low and the Berlusconi media machine controls most of what people see.

For some reason, I grew up generally believing that Japan and Korea were quite friendly. I do know that there is some bad history and the extremists on both sides are unreasonable.

I talked about the barriers created by monopolies. I said that it was the role of government to break up these monopolies and that we couldn't do it alone.

But my question is, am I compromising by adapting my words for the audience and where is the line beyond which I am not adapting words, but changing my position?
