Helter Skelter,

I am more concerned that America sets itself up to be hated when it requires other nations to do things which a good number of people perceive to be unfair. Reagan was willing to trust but verify with the Evil Empire, which actually did possess nuclear weapons. Why…

Have you ever been in any American coastal cities or towns that have two types of storm drains and sewers, those that aren't differentiated and those that are clearly marked as draining straight into the ocean? You can dump 'dirty' untreated water into the former but not the latter.…

I don't think I've ever seen a Japanese pool with a deep end, are they outlawed for safety reasons? It means the pool is always full of guys walking up and down instead of swimming: a deep end would soon put a stop to that.

Not impressed ! Japan still has a long way to go before it trades "evenly" and fairly with its trading partners. This is nothing more than a reflection of outlandish fuel prices as mentioned. Japan's doors are still closed to open and unfettered trade !

Betzee,
