  Very simple, people like to complain. It is a release for stress and a way to bond. Go to Seattle tonight and you'll find people grumping away over traffic, the increasing number of highly pierced teens on Broadway or the fact that Belltown has been overrun by an army of…

  I love people here and this country has a lot of up sides, but logic here is not a strong point. Nor is community outrage when leaders do thick skulled things like this. I wish people would push back when leaders do clueless things.

  Another idiotic knee jerk reaction. Brilliant leadership guys! Solve the problem by masking it with a pointless solution. Let the bad guys win.

  Why don't you just put up barriers on the streets instead? Or do something about treating the problem with all the alienated people out there. But that…

  One other point nisegaijin, if rational and necessary humanitarian systems do not function well in a market economy, maybe there is something wrong with the market economy we have developed. Perhaps we need to change the balance between our socio political thinking and our purely economic thinking. Far too much…

  Private insurance does not work over time. It is cost and not humanitarian driven and will always exclude people for one reason or another. Cost is prohibitive for many and the negative impact to society of having a large uninsured population is very evident in the US if you are…

  The lot of them are worthless, useless and lacking in any ability to govern or to solve Japan's problems. Fukuda is just the most visible good for nothing leader at the moment.

  1. They decide to charge already struggling elderly with more fees for medical insurance. Then 2. they take…

  Wonder if we'll see the return of passenger ships and Zeppelins when the airlines price their way to extinction.

  With fuel cost add ons, baggage add ons, XYZ add ons maybe they should just build all their seats to be first class bubble compartments. After all, seems that only the wealthy will be flying anyway. Business is going to video and web conferencing. Flying is becoming too expensive for…

  Just how does and ID program help in Japan? This guy was a nobody office worker with no record. What part of an ID program would have limited his ability to buy a knife? Another poorly thought through knee jerk response from the Japanese authorities.

  Corporations are finding every new way to bleed a little more money out of people. What they don't realize is that we also have our rising costs of fuel and food and that means that trip to X destination may just get put on the back burner because all the…
