  "what is the best way to encourage people to start spending again?"

  Rescind salary cuts. Better yet, increase salaries!

  Posted in: Shoppers' appetite for spending is being restrained by a feeling that it is inappropriate when nearly 28,000 are dead or missing and more than 180,000 survivors huddle in shelters. What effect do you think this attitude will have on the economy this year and what is the best way to encourage people to start spending again?

  I wonder if President Obama will get virtually 100% of the black vote again...

  This will be a cake walk for President Obama. Who could beat him? Donald Trump? Mitt Romney? Sarah Palin? Chuck Norris?

  If those are new vehicles, I'd hate to see used vehicles. These scenes of devastation are going to be with us for months to come, even with everything the SDF and the U.S. military is doing.

  smithinjapan: "So... human beings are human beings unless they are Taliban?..."

  Umm, no. The're human beings too. They're just evil, despicable human beings.

  "Kind of defeats the purpose of your rant, no?"

  Umm, no.

  "The risks from nuclear power is minimal"

  Absolutely, what's a little radiation poisoning and death, lol.

  "the tiny risk of having a few dead people"

  Heck, what's a few dead people, lol.

  Burakumin - You live 56 km from Daiichi? Heck, that's only 26 km farther than even the Japanese government has recommended evacuation. I hope those reactors don't completely melt down and spew the radiation past your place.

  "Engineers will inject the polymeric water absorbent used for diapers into pipes leading to a pit connected with the No.2 reactor building"

  That oughta do it!

  thepro - When they stop the leak, they're going to hope the radioctive water will dissipate into the vast sea.

  Oh, for cryin' out loud, human beings are human beings wherever they are born, and they should all have fundamental human rights which were not permitted under the awful Taliban, who would still be ruling Afghanistan were it not for the United States of America and her allies.
  Yeah, it's still a mess, but it's a lot better than having the awful Taliban running things.

  Sae is wearing a great shirt, too! Stars and stripes! Except the stars should be white on a blue background, and the stripes should be red and white!

  "the crystal is sapphire. That makes this watch even a better deal at 56,000 yen"

  OK, the crystal may be sapphire, but it probably doesn't have an alarm, which my 2,000 yen Casio watch has!

  "In my mind adventurous brave men wear such watches"

  In my mind people with too much money to burn wear such watches.

  Sae has a really nice smile, and I like her hairstyle - it shows off her ears, or at least her left ear!
  She will get many people to vote. I just hope they don't vote for Ishihara.
