Ishihara wants to quit being governor, and start editing manga???
Well he couldn't really do WORSE, now could he???
He has already distinguished himself as a feeble minded racist governor. He has publicly offended more groups than I can tally.

If TEPCO, et al had had a better understanding of the situation, so much of this disaster would have been avoided.
They did not, and it was not.
The irony here is that the idiots who got us into this mess are the ones we are relying on to get us out of it... WE should demand someone else take over.
They WERE NOT THEN, and ARE NOT NOW up to the challenge.

I doubt that it will take hundreds of years for the next major earthquake.

If proper procedure had been followed, the nuclear plant would have survived the tsunami w/o the problems we have seen over the last 3 months.
It is all about safety. And not lying helps too.
TEPCO and GOJ were/are smug, and over confident. They were and still are unprepared to listen to dissenting ideas.
Yokoso Japan! 2 funny!

Despite Japanese claims that Japan is the 'older, wiser' culture, parts of Europe have a longer history of using nuclear power. Further, they have already had their nasty meltdown in the Ukraine.
Regarding nuclear power, Japan is just beginning to learn what most of Europe learned decades ago - it can be dangerous.

Nothing is going to happen as long as Israel gets 4 billion USD annually in aid from the U.S.
Stop U.S. aid to Israel, and Israel will quickly find a solution to this situation. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Selective, arbitrary enforcement of laws is what makes Japan JAPAN.
It just wouldn't be the same if they applied the laws evenly to everyone.

Men who beat kids have something wrong inside them. Pity the abuser, as well as the victim. He needs help to learn other ways to release stress rather than exploding and taking it out on kids.
He is sick. I hope he gets help.

BurakuminDes - Japan exchange rate - the yen should get stronger, not weaker. The U.S. has printed so much new money in the last 2 years, I am surprised the exchange rate is as good as it is today.
Expect the U.S. Dollar to weaken. This is a natural result when a country (the U.S.) has that much debt, and increases its money supply this much.
Japan tourism and commerce cannot rely on the yen weakening - this is the new norm.

Tepco lied - and got caught lying. The government is incompetent - they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.
The above two items are ugly - the kind of ugly that doesn't wash off.
How do you regain trust? That is a long, hard journey. I do not expect tourists (especially Chinese) to start coming back in great numbers anytime soon.
This is what happens when everyone reads the same inbred textbooks K-12 - the result is that nobody has an original idea in times of crises.

throw away employees... brilliant! They will do the dangerous work, potentially be exposed to lots of radiation, and when the work is done, be laid off, and then fade away, presumably to die a horrible death.
Go TEPCO!

Only Japan needs to improve nuclear safety.
1) Don't put nuke plant in tsunami zone. 2) Don't put backup generator at sea level.

because they are out of control.
To cheat is French. To get caught is American. Maybe DSK is part American.
