This is the the REAL story; world socialism in the name of "saving the planet". FEAR! What a great scam! Just another global bailout for the bankers and corporations to shift industrial production to the third world. They don't give a f#%$ about global warming, only global domination.
Shift wealth my A$$!
Let the carbon tax crusaders just print more monopoly money to give away! Stop stealing from us!

"Where there is no vision, the people perish..." Proverbs 29:18
It goes without saying that Japan's mega cities are overcrowded; the people are stressed and overworked. The county’s bland urban landscapes are devoid of any natural beauty or spiritual connection to the land. Japan has traded its nature loving soul for unsustainable myopic materialistic gain.
The conveyor belt education system is in desperate need of change as almost a million Japanese have dropped out of life and succumbed to a reclusive hikikomori existence. It is any wonder that over 30,000 Japanese commit suicide each year and that number is increasing annually? There is a desperate need in Japan to "get back to the land" and reconnect with a value system based on integration and harmony with nature.
It is vitally important to give a child the hands on experience necessary to develop a goal or vision at an early age. True education starts with sustainable goals that emphasize the spiritual connection between our children and the land. Unless experience with/in nature happens at a critical time in a child’s life, the ability to cherish the natural world as an adult will be extinct. This is why Homo Urbania lives such a depressing life, divorced from joy and real meaning.

The mystique of danger and risk attracts females, especially the ditzy ones that give it up easy. The lack of risk takers in the zombified Jmale populous (ii otoko wa inai) makes even this creep look cool. Just more evidence of a culture in meltdown.

Because they believe that they have no other choices left. Its one thing to be been boxed in by the constricting economy, but even more damning to be hostage to the abstract perceptions that are reinforced by social stigma ( the need to "gaman" to the gates of Hell) while denying the stress, depression and mental instability that go with it. Until Japan realizes that it is wound up too tightly, the country will continue to hemorrhage.

My father was a railroad engineer for 40 years in NYC when a teenage girl lay down in the tracks in front of his speeding train. There was no way to stop in time. When the train eventually stopped, he went back to confirm what happened after he radioed it in. It was three weeks before he could make himself go back to work.
How many railroad engineers are suffering trauma and nightmares as a result of the 2,000 horrific suicides in front of Jtrains?

What is "fair?" Is "fair" when lawyers let him off on a technicality?
Hasan is a traitor, a murderer, an enemy combatant and a terrorist.
A fair trial would be an islamic one, where all the families of the victims pronounce Hasan guilty as hell and stone him like they do in islamic countries. And they do it next week, not in ten years like the D.C. sniper.
