When the Americans wrote the Japanese a new constitution in '51 (The San Fransico Treaty) they included a clause preventing Japan from ever holding a proper military ever again (and therefore agreed to act as Japan's military). So no, the Americans are here for the long haul.

If all the teachers were degree qualified teachers, then the salaries would have to be substantially higher and Eikaiwa would become an unprofitable business.

Do any of you actually watch F1. Hamilton is a driver of immense talent, who takes the necessary risks to win.
I know the British have a "Tall Poppy Syndrome" but this is rediculous.
Oh and by the way, If I was being taxed 60% for being successful, I'd leave too.
