Arbitrary simplistics
1. If the raise of consumption tax is bulldozed, Then most people will try to save money by reducing consumption with whole bags of tricks, Then economy in this country can slow down, Then the society can stagnate, Then there will be higher possibility that the capital of this country is defeated in invitation of Olympic Game... What if such thing happens?Such simple expectation aside... if I were involved in selecting the host of Olympic Game, I might support Istanbul:Olympic should be held for the world.Whatever the background Turkey is announcing the candidacy to host the Olympic Game in 2020, this country is geographically important place, located between Asia, Africa, Europe and Middle East.Well, I have a good reason to support Tokyo, too.Anyway... let's enjoy upcoming London Olympic Game.2. (See Apr. 26, 2012 first)There was a leader of a samurai clan in 12th century:While this leader was in his prime, this family enjoyed their proud existence of glory and elegance, and ruled the whole country and government.But after he died, the clan went downfall, and finally the clan was defeated by brothers who established the first administration by samurai.The younger brother was awarded a special title from the court, but many military commanders thought that he was too self-centered and lacked any political sense.So the elder brother became afraid that the new order would crumble, and decided to expel the younger brother.The younger brother was assaulted at his hideout and killed himself.There is an analysis about the difference between two brothers:The elder brother had a vision of establishing new administration, not only placed importance on harmony which led him to care very much for his supporting powers.The younger brother was admired as a strategic hero, but he didn't have the next target farther than defeating the clan who used to command this country.With the lapse of time...There is already a suspect that the current ruling party didn't have the next target farther than defeating the former ruling party, and that's the very background of the current political chaos.As for the former ruling party... their most -and only- important target must have been maintenance of their administration in power -I feel like suspecting.(See also Jun. 7, 2011)3. There isn't anybody who still believes that ritual suicide is still Japanese culture while it's already 21st century, is there?During Edo period, this became a way of death penalty for samurai class.From a simple calculation, we can see that Edo period is still longer than the era regarded as modern Japan after Meiji.Then, the era when suicide was made into aesthetics is still longer than modern society...◆ :Ready to place summmery if asked
