Legacies
I prepared this manuscript for today, because tomorrow is one year before the final day of postponed Paralympic game.Although Panjandrums are still itching to hold Olympic game on schedule,It's not the matter of just our country, and there is no predicting how things will unfold, So I must refrain from saying this way and that. Instead, while I wait and see, as a memorandum, let me look back and line up good things that Olympic invitation have brought to our country.(In random order)1. Smoking regulation and countermeasure against secondhand smoking have been discussed seriously, and our country had to give up smokers' heaven. Smoking assemblymen who take precedence pleasure of their own than nation's health and life have tried to obstacle, and smoking regulation is still too lenient, though.For example, there are assemblies with the impudence to smoke in the Diet Building where is totally smoke-free.Even so, unlike 20th century, our nation's recognition is changing that smoking is unstylish, harmful and waste of money. 2. Our country won the invitation of Olympic game by appealing that they are promoting reconstruction from 3.11 earthquake disaster and preparation for Olympic game together. Then, whole world would watch our country and press reconstruction at stricken area after our country won the hosting of Olympic game with this slogan -once I thought so, but I seem to have been wrong.Back then, some of general public wondered why in Capital prefecture instead of cities in stricken are.Actually, materials, labors and funds that must be spent on reconstruction are spent for construction of Olympic facilities, obstructing reconstruction in the stricken area.However, without Olympic invitation, 3.11 earthquake disaster might have been swept away into oblivion in much shorter time.3. Our nation has got better awareness of sexual minorities, diversity, protests against discrimination, and so on.At the same time, those words such as LGBTQ, Daibaashithi, equality, coexistence, still sound like existing only in words.It's not today's story either, but there is an urgent problem:I've been told that it's only our country where people who are infected with Novel Corona-virus are bullied and slandered and demanded apologies -how deplorable! Thus, you could accuse such shameful state is not fit to host not only Olympic game but also upcoming international exposition.4. Do you remember how ex-Premier in our country and domestic Olympic organizing committee chairman Mori, has swayed our country with problematic remarks and inappropriate decision over Olympic game in our country? One of the major problems of government in our country is: Government of elderly, by elderly, for elderly. This time, its evil is shown obviously. Of course, growing older means richer experience and insights. But if an elderly someone is unable to update themselves, cling to past glories and ossified thoughts, trouble people and society with inappropriate acts behind time, it's called-What is expression in this language? Old fart?Come to think of it, it seems that vice-Premier Asou also lacks awareness that sexual harassment is shameful violation of human-rights, but considering his age and generation, it could be no wonder.5. At the time of last Winter Olympic game, and as upcoming Olympic game drew near,It was spread widely among us how the U.S. intermeddle in Olympic game administration for domestic TV broadcasting, and sometimes they have to bulldoze unreasonable schedule risking athletes and audience.For example, due to the relation with sports seasons in the U.S., upcoming Olympic game in our country is held in the middle of summer when daytime temperature can be as high as body temperature.May I repeat what I've placed? From now on, The U.S. must host ALL the Olympic games -both summer and winter. Currently:6. Over fights against Novel-Coronavirus infection, I have an eerie feeling what if without upcoming postponed Olympic game -What if our country hadn't been hosting Olympic game, or Olympic game were not postponed but cancelled?Panjandrums are already caring for only their hangers-on companies, but since they regard the hosting of Olympic game as their prestige, if they are unaware that they must complete specific remedies or vaccine within this year, they are finished -too incorrigible. Why such thoughts? In this spring, after Olympic and Paralympic game was rescheduled, reported numbers of infected people soared.It's natural that general public see that Authorities undergo infection tests inadequately and cook the numbers of infected people in order to bulldoze Olympic game as they want.-There must be more, although I didn't mention what are beyond my recognition and English translation skill.◇:Ready to place translation if askedWho is 515151st visitor!?
