Another Corporatocy. Screw the people, we're a Government that operates for the best interests of Corporations. Out of curiosity, has the tear gas started to flow down the streets yet? When we want to be heard that how we know we're reaching those in charge, everything else is simply we're being ignored.
excerpt: "Meanwhile, while 95% of the Japanese public believe that the situation at Fukushima Daiichi is out of control, Prime Minister Abe focused his recent energies on a final, and successful, push to secure the 2020 Olympic Games for Tokyo."
