ah, the backstabbing, the whispering. It's all coming back. I'm sure he's looking for a real company who actually want leadership. Too much deadwood in Japan Inc.

Best Self Important Hyperbole Awards continue..... what a waste of time for a country that needs to get serious about itself. How about the best engineer, teacher, or doctor, or whatever... y'know... other people that matter?

Simple question: 1) Have tens of thousands of years passed already? If the answer is 'no', then don't go back. If the answers is 'meh' then do as you will.

from wikipedia "When exposed to moist air, it forms oxides and hydrides that expand the sample up to 70% in volume, which in turn flake off as a powder that can spontaneously ignite. It is also radioactive and can accumulate in the bones. These properties make the improper handling of plutonium dangerous."
yeah I'm sure TEPCO has that under control. I'm sure it's within the health parameters. And if not, they'll just change the parameters. Problem solved.

Japanese are weirdly sanguine if not apathetic about the whole thing, so there's little reason to inform them about this. Thus this would seem to be for the audience outside Japan and nothing to do with informing Japanese about the food they eat.

I guess letting Japanese suffer at the hands of other Japanese is perfectly fine. Bloody sad.

In general religious people of all faiths are strange. On the one hand they claim high words of peace and honour and the other hand go back to their day jobs destroying the planet with trash and pollution. You'd think religious people would be not so duplicitous or delusional and be an example rather than hiding behind a veil. It literally is faceless. In the case of Muslim, it happens to be obvious rather than hidden. Maybe that's what isn't liked here, the reflection of purpose manifest? Maybe if people had a purpose they then wouldn't fear others. This appears to be a symptom of a greater malady then, and not the one reported here. If society has no more purpose, how can another society be a threat?

if the 'art' is only racial Japanese then it's not much of an art that is so insecure that it's dying off. Reminds me of traditional Japanese music (Shamisen etc). Japanese are not interested in their history yet "foreigners" take classes in learning these arts. If it's an art then it shouldn't matter.
Adding a racial tone to recovering an art can't be justified. It would take a big leap of confidence to accept anyone interested. Like other arts and music styles.
