If any president can be considered close to a dictator or Nazi Germany, it's Cheney; ... Bush. Think Patriot Act, the must unpatriotic legistraton in many many years. To paraphrase Franklin, if you give up freedom for security, you're end up with neither.

I don't know if I would call HSBC a British bank. Granted that HQ moved to London in 1999/99 but most people still consider it Chinese or Scottish Chinese since it was founded in Hong Kong in 1865. I think the letters stand for HongKong Shanghai Banking Corporation. It is…

What happen to the DEFENSE part of MSDF? If they need to get permission to raise or sink a ship, especially a sub, then you do not need a MSDF. What was the famous or infamous comment by a US watch commander at Pearl Harbor when a sub was sighted…

You know the article doesn't indicate what kind of abuse or what the report considers abuse. So is there more physical abuse, sexual abuse, mental abuse, or what? Did some go down and others go up? As a tend, Japans is get more weird but this may not just be…

In a country where there is no appreciation of true danger. Where the children are more and more narcistic, why would there be consideration when there is no empathy? When young adults go to Iraq to see a "war" and get themselves in trouble, it no surprise. Where or not…
