There's this book by a Wall Street Journal reporter, called "Wrong About Japan"--and in one sequence, he asks the creator of Godzilla (a monster created by a nuclear accident/testing, who rolls around destroying...Japanese cities, even if inadvertently)---about it's relationship to WW-II and being the target of nuclear weapons...and the Japanese creator flat out denies it. Says the West doesn't understand that Godzilla is actually about bureaucracy.

What a special and odd place.

^ Thanks, Tatsu.

If I were from another planet, I would say that something is wrong there.

Japan is not known for its homelessness.

An island that produces so many wealthy people,
must be wise indeed.



Is not the Earth a small blue island in a rich obsidian sea?
