(Paper fortunes and pictorial offerings on display to Holy Spirits at a Japanese shinto shrine)EVIL BUT LIVE
According to a story, the elder sister of two pixie siblings teaches how to read letters to the younger brother.
She shows the letter, EVIL, to the young boy who thinks awhile to answer, "LIVE."
Indeed, in Japanese evil is mostly expressed as "Aku" and live as "Ikiru (Iku)."
Of course, after living a little longer, the pixie boy would find there is something called evil in living. But, how else can the boy answer if he only knows LIVE for letters composed of E, I, L, and V.
SECTION I: Lawmaker Mr. Ichiro Ozawa since 1969
One day, a telephone call came to Mr. Ozawa's residence.
A servant living and working in his house took the call to find it was from Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto (1996-1998 in office).
The servant hurried to the bathroom as his master Mr. Ozawa was taking a bath. But, Mr. Ozawa yelled to the one of his servants, "Don't you know I am now sitting in the bathtub. Have him wait!"
The servant was highly impressed by greatness of his boss, since Mr. Ozawa could even outdo the prime minister of Japan while Mr. Ozawa was in the bathroom and the prime minister, probably, in his office or library, though the two prominent politicians had been once colleagues in a certain faction of the Liberal Democratic Party.

The servant was at that time a student of Waseda University, Tokyo. After graduation, he became a secretary of Mr. Ozawa, though his duty was not so different from that in his days of a mere servant. Yet, he was allowed to use a name card as secretary. Several years later, the secretary ran for a national election to fail. He also lost favor of his boss Mr. Ozawa as Mr. Ozawa was against his secretary's running for the election. But, as an elected person left the national Diet to run for a governorship election, the Mr. Ozawa's secretary as a runner-up was awarded the election. Accordingly, his boss forgave him, since the secretary was now a member of the Lower House.
Last summer, this rising lawmaker Mr. Ishikawa was reelected, defeating a notable ex-Finance Minister of the LDP who ominously died of illness a month after the election.
Recently, Mr. Ishikawa, once a servant and then a secretary of Mr. Ozawa, was arrested by the Tokyo District Prosecutor Office for involvement in illegal political fund reporting by a Mr. Ozawa's political-fund management body which had bought almost a dozen of real estates using political funds Mr. Ishikawa had managed then for Mr. Ozawa who signed on those property deals as if they had been his personal assets.
There arose many objections against this arrest from the Democratic Party of Japan. But, the Tokyo District Prosecutor Office said that the surprise arrest was necessary as Mr. Ishikawa looked like going to commit a suicide during a voluntary questioning they conducted with him for a few times.
Note 1: It is not so common nowadays that a Japanese politician hires student-servants at his home as candidates for future political secretaries or proteges in the parliament.
Note 2: The Law to Regulate Money Used for Political Activities would not be applied to Mr. Ichiro Ozawa, since his secretary was in charge of filing a concerned official report of political funds which was found to be illegally inaccurate.
However, it can be a case of tax evasion, since you cannot tell if money some businesses contributed belongs to Mr. Ozawa himself or a his political-fund management body so long as it is now in the form of the real estate on which such a body cannot have a legal right, especially, when filing real-property registration.
-----
This is what is going on in the Japanese political arena now. The focus is on Mr. Ichiro Ozawa, the Secretary-General of the DPJ whose political career has overwhelmed not only Prime MInister Mr. Yukio Hatoyama, the head of the DPJ, but also Deputy P.M. Mr. Naoto Kan.
Indeed, a revolutionary regime-change movement should not be stopped until the glory of the God is manifested, in my humble wish.
Nonetheless, I am against arrest and indictment of a political nature by public prosecutors, since it is against the Japanese Constitution.
SECTION II: America for Judaists
If so many Judaists in Europe had seriously thought about implication of Columbus' being a Juadaist, they should have left Europe heading for America as soon as possible, thus avoiding the massacre by Nazi Germany in 1930's and 1940's.
(If Haiti and Dominican Republic had been united into one nation on the same island, the situation must have been different in this wake of the great earthquake.)
The implication also includes an idea that it is in the U.S. but not in the nation Israel that Judaists should establish their own home and maybe a new temple.
As God allowed "the Crypto Jew, Columbus," to reach and find Americas around 1500, it might be time for Judaists to move there from all over the world and, especially, from Israel.
Then, American Christians might come to refer to "Jesus Christ" less and less, which would however help them accept Muslims, who seldom refer to Jesus Christ, more peacefully.
Anyway, even today, American Christianity is regarded by some scholars as a kind of "Christianity without Jesus Christ"; they use the term "God" far more often than the term "Jesus Christ."
Otherwise, will the Vatican decide to use the term "God" far more often than the term "Jesus Christ" so as to unify itself with Judaists, Muslims, and American Christians?
(Then, Muslims will come to very rarely read the part of the Koran concerning Jesus of Nazareth.)
Truly, Jesus Christ never ordered to call Him "God" (whether or not based on the above consideration).

They reported that 12,000 Pakistanis were killed in terror last year.
It is indeed unbelievable that so many people died in one Islamic nation because of terrorism eight years after the 9/11 Terror in the U.S.
The bankruptcy of Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. is truly a kind of jokes, if the largest air carrier in Asia has carried any heroic Japanese to Pakistan or Haiti to save people there.
Mar 1:19 And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
Mar 1:20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
Mar 1:21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
Mar 1:22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
