Hokkaido is something like 200% food self sufficient and presently there are farms everywhere that are abandon.

Yes, but the cost to the Kansai - Kanto urban taxpayer is astronomical.

What Japan failed to have during it's drive to industrialization and needs to have today is an agricultural revolution along…

dogdog, so you're saying Japan should not strive for higher food self-sufficiency? I'm just trying to figure out the logic behind your diatribe.

Primarily Japan should live, like the USA and Europe should, within economic realities that prosper their citizens as a whole and not just a small interest group.…

Japan should leave the 6 party talks

That's what North Korea is saying, South Korea has strongly hinted, and Russia and China have alluded to. Japan is the problem, she won't go because it would show the failure of her 'Abe' policy concerning North Korea (The hostage issue is the…
