I don't see how a deep bow to the emperor is going to make anybody in Japan happier than they are. The right wing nut jobs are still going to run around criticizing everybody. The rest don't care. A 15 degree courtesy bow would have been sufficient. Cap'njohn is right,…

Better that the price goes up now, while there are tuna left, than later, when there is no hope of rebuilding the stocks of fish in our lifetime.

Yeah, right. Right after he decides about troops in Afghanistan, I expect.
