The thing I'd come to believe was good and useful to society turned out to be useless and caused everybody trouble. I feel a deep sense of remorse.

We're bored. We have nothing to do. I don't have anything to say to my husband anymore. It's much better to come here than just sit in the house watching TV all day. We need some excitement, too.

It’s fine to go around with a Geiger counter and see if your child’s playground is radioactive, but how do you go from that to getting the laws to change so that this kind of thing can’t happen again?

The reason people aren't spending is because they are worried about the pension system and fear for their future. If we fix that, then they will be more confident to spend and that will boost the economy.

So true. So many wrongdoings and scandals lately it makes you wonder that Japan is going to be China's Mexico in a few years.

I doubt it, but if so the LDP takes far more of the blame for it from their time in power.

Interesting coming from a Japanese polititian. Maybe he's never read a history book. But then again, the Japanese government changes the history books for students anyway.

Yeah I do. It's easier that way. Just like when people have a problem in their life that they can't explain, they come up with 'god' did it.

Actually, he is right. Read a nice free essay on my Kindle about over-population, basically, the 1,000 pound gorilla that no one is really addressing. Now that we are ready to add yet another 1 billion people to the earth that is already using the resources of three planets and with a younger generation ready to out-consume the previous one, well, yeah, we are on the path toward doom. Strangely enough the essayist recommended that there be a lottery to see who can reproduce. Fair, but impractical to say the least, in which we can not even agree on cap and trade, much less who gets to reproduce! But, like where was this dude, (if he is freakin out about the spending or the policies) a year or 5 years ago???? Quite as a mouse. All he is doing is trying to create an opportunity for himself.

He is right but if he got into power would he actually do anything to change the path it is on?
