not to be contrary but i have trust in nuclear power itself but no trust in management, government, politicians who have a stake money or otherwise.
Posted in: The thing I'd come to believe was good and useful to society turned out to be useless and caused everybody trouble. I feel a deep sense of remorse.

remember a few years back the holdup at narita complete with people in paper gowns held together by masking tape making the rounds on all the planes and really holding people up. not that there is anything wrong with being cautious.

i wonder if there is a word in japanese that means pro-active. in the twenty years i have been here all i have seen is re-active.
Posted in: It’s fine to go around with a Geiger counter and see if your child’s playground is radioactive, but how do you go from that to getting the laws to change so that this kind of thing can’t happen again?

Posted in: U.S. cars do not fit Japan's market or Japanese consumers' requirements because of size, high fuel consumption and higher prices. They need to have a line-up that suits Japanese consumers' preferences.

that`s a shame. although, to be considered respectful i do feel that everyone should stand - but to be forced to sing??? that is just so wrong in a supposed free society.

first it is the us japanese and them foreigners. they do not realize that each country is very different and cultures are vastly diverse. if they took the time to find out about other countries and their unique cultures it would not be an japanese vs foreigners but discovering what things some cultures have in common and what things they don`t. after 20 years here i am REALLY tired of the so called compliments on my use of chopsticks, simple greetings and the like.

i think being TOLD what to do in a case like this oversteps - voting is not demanded by laws.

how about those in power in Japan - loyalty to their people? the past year alone shows she knows very little about her culture. these problems are the culmination of years of disloyalty to the people who live in Japan.
