Mono - obviously not endeared to compact sports cars.

And Mazda certainly has this drop on this market, doing it with style, flair, reliability, drive and FUN.

No true motor fan would doubt this.

Seiharinokaze - you surely must have limited contact with the opinions of "locals".

Many of the locals I know here often comment on the incessant, disturbing shrills of cicadas. Riding past the univerisity grounds here is almost a"rite of passage", a test of survival as the ear drums are tested…

What a pathetic display to scrounge sympathy votes.

He's had all the time in the world to walk this path, but chooses now a few weeks B4 elections to make a"Big Deal"

Low and Weak.

Cheney and his neo-con mates posed as great a threat to world security as did any terrorist organization.

The criminal pre-emptive attack on Iraq (and it's resulting death of 1,000's of innocent civilians) reflects the true nature of the neo-cons and it is surprising that troops were never deployed domestically…

Obviously the "blase" posters have never had a relatively young (55 year old)relative suffering from mesothelioma, cough up blood projectile style, accompanied with a scream as their last living utterance.

With such logic - Japan claimed them in ww11 - then they should stop the quibbling over Russia's claim of the northern territories.

The Senkakaku's are not and have never been historically Japanese.

The Americans are not willing to give up their defacto claim

While most focus on China the BIGGER fish here is Rio.

Don't be deluded into thinking for 1 moment that these mega corps are squeaky clean and that Rio could never be seen to be corrupt or collusive.

Tying "love of country" to "love of flag & anthem"(esp ones with loaded baggage) is the true face of nationalism.

Such a simplistic view.

Some old friends here certainly love Japan, BUT they have little respect for the symbols of militarism often on parade esp kimigayo.
