"What is the point of anonymous donations?"
It is only a donation if it IS anonymous. Otherwise it's paid publicity. When Billy Gates III "donates" money to (his own) charity and splashes the news over 400 media publications then it's not charity. It's an Ego Trip. "Hey! Look at me, Everyone! I'm a ****ing HERO!"

Ripping off Philip K. Dick again... "Oh to be a Blobel!" Man becomes alien. Man falls in love with alien. Man wants to stay big, blue thing with woman.
The plot centers on the post-traumatic psychological state of former espionage agents on both sides of the Human-Blobel war. Blobels are presented as a single-cell, protoplasmic species prevalent in the outer solar system. Espionage agents on both sides of the conflict underwent irreversible physical modifications, enabling them to assume the form of the opposing species for a defined time period each day. The story deals with the ramifications for agents' personal and social identity from this alteration.

Japan's lethargy (I think) is due to established distributors having the majority of the market tied up and moribund. The supermarket I've gone to for 13 years is selling the same produce on the same shelf after all this time. It's like the Soviet Union sometimes. No choice and little produce left at the end of the day. Entrepreneurs are few and far between. The prices are all ratcheted up as far as they can drain you. Same can be seen in the "entertainment" personalities on TV. Same old idiot faces for 20+ years. No new blood is allowed in.

Is THAT why there's a cop at every station with his hand gripping a drawn People Clubber? I find it vaguely threatening and offensive frankly.
