    Genden, then Donen, jobs for the boys. Unsafe practices, faulty construction, no maintenance, and finally "deny, deny, deny" when there's an accident. Hand Japan's nuclear power over to the IAEA for operations, inspections and governance. These guys are INCOMPETENT. Read Alex Kerr's section on Japan's nuclear nightmares in "Dogs &…

    **skipthesong ** Excellent questions as usual. My rule of thumb is that the Patriot is the one who faithfully fulfills his/her sworn duty to uphold the the US Constitution, say in the case of Americans in public/military service. The domestic enemy is one who attempts or succeeds, by whatever means,…

    "The Libertarian Party stands for non-interference by the U.S. government in the personal and business lives of Americans, and advocates lower taxes, a smaller government and more individual freedom."

    This will be a test of Japan's real modus operandi. They can't wander the world and scream and cry when foreign governments caps Sumitomo or whoever's investment, and then turn around and halve the level they enjoy overseas at home.

It's a case of their market share being whittled away, and the possibility of liability should a lookalike medicine prove to have unforeseen side-effects.…

    On the stupidity of Japanese "Police" I err on the side of presuming that they're malicious, not airheaded. Check their mob connections: http://www.debito.org/index.php/?p=1653
