"Maybe Baby You Are Blue"
("Vous êtes peut-être bébé bleu")
The Japanese news agency JIJI has reported that some American politicians strongly associated with the Bush Administration were surprised by the arrest of Japan's former Vice Defense Minister Takemasa Moriya.

Every media in Japan is, of course, running after Mr. Takemasa Moriya and the Tokyo public prosecutors, interviewing Mr. Moriya at home by phone or obtaining comments from Ms. Yuriko Koike, the former Defense Minister who was strangely and severely attacked by politicians and critics when she tried to fire Mr. Moriya, for whatever reason, during her short term of office.
Every pundit and critic is also strongly focusing their argument on this once-a-decade detective incident.
But, Jesus Christ said not to blame others.
I hope that Mr. Takemasa Moriya and his wife will study the Bible in the Tokyo Detention Center so as to repent, yes, repent before God.

Rather I am interested in some comments and opinions recently expressed in the newspaper and on the Internet by Japanese critics on the meaning of independents as well as the two-party-system and the grand coalition.
First of all, as the movement toward democracy in Japan before 1945 had been insufficient due to the still dominant shadow of samurai's moral and political code of conduct, the God forced the Empire of Japan to lose the war against the U.S. in order for Japan to introduce Christian-based democracy from the United States of America after 1945.
So, I refer to some US opinions using Google without personal preference:
"..."The two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shift in policy." Quote by Georgetown Professor, Carroll Quigley from his book "Tragedy and Hope" referring to the secret network that started the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), America's true ruling establishment..." http://www.newswithviews.com/Ohara/debbie29.htm
"...Almost two-thirds of Americans consider themselves either Republicans or Democrats, and even those who say that they are independents normally have partisan leanings and exhibit high levels of partisan loyalty. For example, on average 71 percent of Democratic-leaning independents and 79 percent of Republican-leaning independents voted for their preferred party's presidential nominees in the last four presidential elections. It is estimated that only about nine percent of the Americans are "pure independents."..."
"...The two party system filters out the extreme elements. The multi-party allows the extreme, and often destabilizing, elements into the political system. It was not that long ago that the extreme Nazi party gained credibility by being brought into a German coalition government when none of the major parties could gain a clear electoral victory..."

You have to always keep in mind that there have been African Americans, in these years after 1860, who account for more than 10% of the U.S. population.
With such a minority group having a more than 10% share, the two-party system seems to some extent work well, for they will be split into two: one party including most members of the minority group and another less supporting the minority group.
If you apply this way of thinking to Japanese politics, you may however discover an interesting theory on politics.
And, Jesus Christ indicated, in my view, that if a House of a nation is split, no devils can overwhelmingly and fatally exercise their evil power and influence.

Today, I have to go out to pay for national insurance and national pension.
Indeed, there is no leisure for the poor, probably, except politics, even if you are so blue for all the horseplay being televised and reported here and there.

My favorite book: Any story of a poor man/woman who is saved by the God.
My favorite movie: Akira Kurisawa's "The Hidden Fortress" because of a beautiful actress and Toshiro Mifune's extravagant fight scenes - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hidden_Fortress;
in addition, it later allowed Mr. George Lucas to dream of his success with the Star Wars.
Now, you may not be so blue, though I am still a busy man.)
