Outstanding Reputation Again!

"Secret Love Crying" as sung by Down Town Boogie Woogie Band (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-37-79c7b926249cfd604055dad5a79d9a58-71-9y-70-sji.html) 


Outstanding Reputation Again!


In a recent session of the International Whaling Commission (IWC), Japan this year too has requested authorization for its traditional whaling practices. But, a representative of Australia said that such an attitude would undermine Japan's outstanding reputation worldwide.

Someday, whales may be bred and reared in a large fish (?) farm like beef cattle in a ranch on the land. Along with globalization, the Antarctic Continent and the Antarctic Ocean may become suitable places for this new industry.

As for "Japan's outstanding reputation worldwide," it has been again confirmed (http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/home_page/366.php?nid=&id=&pnt=366&lb=hmpg1).

In a "multinational poll by The Chicago Council on Global Affairs and WorldPublicOpinion.org," each ratio of those who answered that a certain country is acting a great deal or somewhat responsibly is as follows:

China....38%......(meaning not so responsible)
US.........41%......(meaning somewhat responsible)
Japan.....46%.....(meaning regarded as responsible)

Respondents were chosen from the following countries: China, India, the United States, Russia, France, Thailand, Ukraine, Poland, Iran, Mexico, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, Argentina, Peru, Armenia and Israel, plus the Palestinian territories; they account for 56% of mankind.

After WWII, Japan with the pacifist Constitution almost completely stayed out of war till the War on Iraq to which 500 troops of Ground Self-Defense Force were sent (now returned to Japan) for humanitarian aids.

Instead, the U.S. entered a war in the Korean Peninsula and Vietnam, the areas once the Imperial Japan had occupied. And, the U.S. could not complete each war as a victory. It is of profound significance, since in those days Japanese veterans of WWII said that US troops did not know how to fight in the Korean Peninsula and Vietnam. Indeed, Japan almost completely stayed out of those wars.

The third major war for the U.S. is, in a sense, a long War on Iraq which started in 1991 as the Gulf War and still continues as part of the War on Terror.

And, I have a rather pessimistic view on this fatal war for some rich, very rich, and extremely rich Americans.

I will discuss this issue later.

Any way, world public opinions are important, or more important than reports produced by a governmental organization such as CIA.

If you can devise a more effective and innovative way to get, analyze, and publish this kind of information on TV, the Internet, and cellular phones, you may contribute to peace of the world and get some financial reward.

I think I can tackle the issue, though so far no business partner is found yet. Yes, I may become another Mr. Bill Gates of the 21st century...(oh, what shall I do, if I become a king of information?).

Please remember that Japanese like whales and are trusted by 46% of world citizens.
