Nobody wants to be Japan, the fallen angel that went from one of the fastest growing economies in the world for more than three decades to one that has slowed to a crawl for the past 18 years.

Kenneth Rogoff, professor of economics and public policy at Harvard University, and was formerly chief economist at the International Monetary Fund. (Japan Times)

    Ouch! He has a point though. Hopefully the recent positive economic news will continue for Japan.

    Demand justice, stop the bullying, help each other and accept mistakes and change. Learn to embrace individuality. You can do it and enjoy a bright future. Japans worst problem is the fact that no one believes that they can change the system. Someone needs to steep up and be the nail that broke the hammer. Japanese people are too good for this oppressive nightmare that is Japan. Revolt now!!
