Cause-Effect Relationship plus Feedback System
Even in the story of Jesus Christ, the cause-effect relationship can be clearly observed.
For example, He said that a righteous man is not so much respected in his home town.
He was almost killed in His home town for Himself.
Hence, there are no legacies or relics having been left and excavated in His home town over 2000 years.
Anybody from Nazareth even today is not allowed to enjoy a privileged status only because he or she is from Nazareth. I may extend this agenda later.
SECTION I: After the Election
Of course, there is no unrest in the Japanese society, though the DPJ that achieved a historical change in the Japanese politics last August has been defeated this July. The DPJ got 308 seats among the total 480 Lower House seats last summer, but only 44 seats among contested 121 Upper House Seats this summer (the LDP has won 51 and the Your Party 10).
Yet, according to the latest surveys, those who support the DPJ led by P.M. Mr. Kan are still 5% to 10% more than those who support the former ruling LDP. Roughly speaking, 30% of the Japanese support the ruling, pro-Chinese/Korean DPJ, 25% the conservative, pro-American LDP, and 15% conservative Minna-no-To (the Your Party), a spin-out from the LDP.
As for a question about who should be Japan's prime minister, Mr. Naoto Kan is still ranked No.1; head of the Your Party Mr. Yoshimi Watanabe is No2; and ex-LDP Upper House lawmaker Mr. Yoichi Masuzoe No.3 though his party Shinto Kaikaku (New Party of Reform) won only one seat in the 11-07-2010 election.
(Now, the DPJ camp has 110 seats among the total 242 Upper-House seats, but 7 seats short of a powerful 2/3 majority in the Lower House, meaning the ruling parties cannot override rejection of a bill in the Upper House by exercising an overriding power in the Lower House. Accordingly, no law proposed by the Kan Cabinet can be passed by the National Diet unless it is a bill of budget.)
In summary, the DPJ and P.M. Mr. Naoto Kan are still expected to lead Japan for some time by a majority of the Japanese. Yet, non-affiliated voters are split evenly in their support for the DPJ, the LDP, and the Your Party.
But, the point at issue is that the DPJ is the first socialistic party that has won power through election as a leading ruling party with real hegemony since 1950's in Japan. And, though socialists are in a powerless minority in the Japanese society, a majority of the Japanese are now feeling like entrusting the government to the DPJ and Mr. Naoto Kan, probably till next spring when a 2011 budget bill is passed, since the LDP could not manage honestly the pension fund system for decades.
SECTION II: Lawmaker Mr. Taro Kono
Japanese LDP lawmaker Mr. Taro Kono recently attended an international conference. He made some speach in English at Conference on Poverty Alleviation of the International Conference of Asian Political Parties (ICAPP): "Japan is the second largest financial contributor to the U.N. But, the U.N. has not given to Japan a status of a permanent member of the Security Council. Japan is going to decrease an amount of its financial aid to the world in a form of official development assistance. You should rather impose a tax on international exchange transactions. A tax rate of 1% will result in creating a huge resource enough to help poor countries and their development."
Japan's Lower-House lawmaker Mr. Kono thinks that if contents of your speech in an international conference has a true impact on attendants and representatives from the world, they will never say after your speech that your English is excellent. If they find merit in your speech, they will come after your speech to ask for your business card.

It is said that $2 to $3 trillion of money is transacted daily in global foreign exchange markets.
SECTION III: Venus
There are two theories as to why the atmospheric temperature of the planet Venus was so high as to be 500 degrees C while it is 15 degrees C on the earth.
One theory is that it is the CO2 effect that makes Venus so hot.
Another is that it is a higher density of the air that makes Venus so hot.
Venus has 90 times higher density of the air than the earth. And, CO2 accounts for 96% of the air of Venus.
However, the change of temperature along with altitude in Venus indicates that higher temperature of the planet is mainly due to its higher density of the air, rather than due to the CO2 effect.
Though the earth had almost the same amount of CO2 at the beginning of its history, it was mostly absorbed by the sea and then by living things. As Venus lost the sea in the early stage, its CO2 was discharged to the air. It is unknown if an initial CO2 effect had caused an initial temperature rise, leading the loss of the sea in Venus and then the subsequent CO2 increase. Yet, the current higher temperature of Venus is more likely due to a higher density of the air rather than the CO2 effect.

So, Wikipedia must be modified on the following part:
--------
The CO2-rich atmosphere, along with thick clouds of sulfur dioxide, generates the strongest greenhouse effect in the Solar System, creating surface temperatures of over 460 °C (860 °F)...
Studies have suggested that several billion years ago Venus atmosphere was much more like Earth's than it is now, and that there were probably substantial quantities of liquid water on the surface, but a runaway greenhouse effect was caused by the evaporation of that original water, which generated a critical level of greenhouse gases in its atmosphere
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus
--------
The above description might not be correct, since a higher density of the air is most likely the major factor for Venus being so hot.
Anyway, Japan's Venus orbiter, Akatsuki launched on May 20, 2010, will provide more data as it is expected to reach its target in December 2010.
On the earth, El Nono-Southern Oscillation or ENSO is one factor for an increase of CO2. The sea area under the ENSO effect releases more CO2 due to higher sea temperature.
(http://env01.cool.ne.jp/ss02/ss025/ss0252.htm )
This indicates that the temperature rise is the antecedent phenomenon followed by a CO2 increase.
This sort of confusion or misunderstanding is always found in politics and economics. The cause-effect relationship is always complicated by existence of a feed-back system.
Think about Venus sometimes so as not to grow senile if you are younger than your president or prime minister.

The summer is sometimes not a good season for sick people or families with sick members.
Indeed what they need is a medical doctor and medicines.
So, you have to be always compassionate toward sick people in the summer, though young men commit suicide more in spring or autumn than in summer or winter in Japan.
Anyway, if you are not sick, it means that the God makes you healthy expecting you to be kind to the sick.
Yet, summer vacation can make some people better concerning mental health.

The summer cannot forget a memory of war in Japan. But, it cannot do away with happiness of Western colonists in Southern regions.)
