Japanese people are usually pretty quiet, respectful. Especially to those of higher rank, especially to teachers.
When young Japanese start confronting professors and yelling at them, well we could be reaching a tipping point.
The Japanese are not dumb. I spoke to a native Japanese, a 45 year old "girl", who is probably average intelligence. She still lives in Japan. I mentioned "Heh, just in case you weren't aware, Fukushima is A LOT worse than what the news is saying, and it continues to leak radiation every day."
Her response was remarkable, because, again, Japanese are normally very polite. She said with an air of both irritation and disdain "OF COURSE, we ALL know". They love their country, many are starting to hate their Government.

Quote of Billy Joel:
ReplyDelete"If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe"

I don't hate government, or governance.
However; i am chomping at the bit in eager anticipation of rooting out the lying criminals in any government & industry NOW!
These students are angry too and have every right to be.
Support those in government and industry who do tell the truth.
DEMAND IT!
