(North of Tokyo)"Thou Art Lukewarm"
I watched a late-night TV news program on Friday's night and then asked justice from the God who eventually and benevolently responded to my insistent pleading.
That is why now I have a feeling that the God would throw them out, like He did in fiscal 2008.
SECTION I: GLOBAL OBAMAS
According to a survey by Nippon Television, one of major TV stations in Japan, Japanese audiences chose the following heroines a few years ago:
No. 1....Masako Natsume (3068 points)
No. 2....Audrey Hepburn (3046)
No. 3....Princess Diana (1604)
No. 4....Cleopatra (1410)
No. 5....Mother Teresa (1110)
No. 6....Florence Nightingale (1001)
No. 7....Grace Patricia Kelly (762)
No. 8....Marilyn Monroe (701)
No. 9....Jeanne d'Arc (676)
No. 10...Marie-Antoinette (546)

Though I have only a vague idea about Masako Natsume, she was a Japanese actress who died two decades ago or so due to a fatal illness at the height of her popularity, at the age of 27.
Japanese TV audiences are not foolish at all; they are rather unique. But, why can Monroe attract admiration more than Jeanne d'Arc?
Anyway, Japanese TV audiences are strange romantics in light of global norms, if any.
SECTION II: Revolutionary Democratic Idea
Mr. Paul Krugman wrote in The New York Times on November 28, 2005 or so.
---------------------------
...
But job losses at General Motors are part of the broader weakness of U.S. manufacturing, especially the part of U.S. manufacturing that offers workers decent wages and benefits. And some of that weakness reflects two big distortions in the American economy: an unsustainable trade deficit and a dysfunctional health care system.
...
---------------------------
The collapse of Wall Street, the showiest street of a higher level of excellence and expertise of the American power elite, in fiscal 2008 suggested very strongly that ordinary Americans would be virtually killed by the conventional American elite through poor and diminished medical care systems and health-insurance systems.
American workers had no choice but vote for the Democratic Party whose presidential candidate happened to be Mr. Barack Obama.
My idea for a new voting system to choose the head of a government is to adopt an election system where a voter is allowed to select a name and a term of his/her service.
For example, a voter can write down on a sheet for vote: "Barack Obama for 1 year," "Barack Obama for 10 years," or "John McCain for 2 years."
If the designation for "Barack Obama for 2 years" is the largest in the number of ballots, President Mr. Barack Obama would be allowed to serve the nation only for two years.

Ok, you go your way; I will continue my way.
We will not identify each other on any occasions in the future.
This is my word expressed out of deep feeling and sincere contemplation.
So, I am saying goodbye to fiscal 2008 which will finally end on 31 March, 2009, in Japan.
Note 1: In the computer technology, it is common sense that one thousand means 1024, since it is expressed as 1K, "10 000 000 000" in a binary system.
Note 2: There is no human or scientific proof that the God is the only one; time flows to one direction only; and human mind exists as one solid entity. That is why fiscal year 2008 can end on 31 March, 2009, before cherry blossoms get all out in Japan.

Rev 3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
