Without a Single Man of Virtue, a Dent of Criminals
Haiti lost 230,000 people in the great earthquake, exceeding the number of great Sumatra tsunami victims.
But, there are also more than 230,000 child slaves ("restavek" children) in Haiti.

Even a 9-year-old girl is sold at $50.
The great earthquake was indeed a strong message to the world.
Yet, as Americans have now an African American President, Washington D.C. and New York have only suffered two-foot-deep snow.
The answer is always for the glory of the God to be manifested.
All I want to say is go and save children in Haiti (without abducting them), if you are so proud in Washington D.C., New York, and Paris (as France colonized Haiti). I am not joking over beer.
SECTION I: TOSHIBA TO INVEST $9 BN
If you have never worked in a semiconductor-related factory or business, you do not almost understand reality of the present material civilization, especially if you are an economist.
If you use a PC, a cellular phone, a digital TV, or a car, you are using a very-small computer system which requires memory devices to store data.
The main stream of the memory devices is flash memory. It sells worldwide in total at $15 billion or so. But, not many countries have ability to build businesses that can manufacture and sell this product. Only, Japan, America, Korea, and Switzerland have such businesses that can compete in real.
Global Flash Memory Market Share, 3Q of 2009
COUNTRY...//...COMPANY....//...GLOBAL SHARE
1. Korea...//...Samsung...//...39.3%
2. Japan...//...Toshiba...//...34.6%
3. Korea...//...Hynix...//...10.0%
4. USA...//...Micron Tech....//...7.7%
5. USA...//...Intel...//...6.1%
6. Switzerland...//...Mumonyx...//...2.3%
In other way,
1. East Asia
2. USA
3. Europe
Korean companies like those in Taiwan and China have originally received so much aid from Japan, including leading engineers in high-tech industries. Indeed, it is in these 20 years that Samsung and other Korean and Taiwan high-tech makers have grown globally so as to amaze even President Mr. Barack Obama.
However, their growth is regarded as expansion of Japanese industrial and technological potential to East Asia. It has been driven by Japan itself implicitly, since Japan could not concentrate its industrial potential only on its national land. Such material concentration would damage and harm the nature of Japan and spiritual life of the Japanese people.
If Japan had forced Korea, Taiwan, and China to stay poor without transferring its technology to these countries, Japanese export should have saved Japan from the Lost Decade. If all the global class high-tech companies in Korea, Taiwan, and China had been all the Japanese companies operating in Japan, Japan should not have experienced the Lost Decade.
In this context, a kind of the East Asia Union Prime Minister Mr. Yukio Hatoyama has proposed has been already realized in the high-tech industrial sector in sacrifice of Japan in the form of the Lost Decade, though it has saved the natural environment and spiritual environment in Japan.
Now, as for Toshiba, if the company estimates to collect $6 billion per year through sales from 2011 with the new factory, its investment of $9 billion to the new flash memory factory will be surely paid off within 10 years, securing reasonable net profits.
Yet, as Toshiba suffered $3 billion deficits in FY2009 as of the end of March 2009, total earning retention within Japanese businesses including Toyota must be truly huge.
Anyway, all I want to say to economists is "Work in a semiconductor factory!" It is so, since the need for economists should have been more limited without the Lost Decade of Japan.
Finally, it is also why USA cannot make prosperous Cuba, Haiti, Mexico, Columbia, etc., since the national land of America is as large as China and its spiritual life is as headstrong as India's.
SECTION II: Socrates
Socrates (469 BC–399 BC), a little younger than the Buddha and Confucius, mentioned some about the ideal language.
He could not find such a language in the real world, but the Japanese language matches the conditions he specified for the ideal language.
(http://shinsho.shueisha.co.jp/kikan/0374-e/index.html)
Japanese is a language essentially perceived based on functions of the left side of the brain, since it features vowel sound recognition.
There is only one language confirmed in this world that is similar to Japanese in terms of this feature, the Polynesian language as spoken by indigenous Hawaiians. Even the Korean language activates the right side of the brain of Koreans though it shares some other grammatical features with Japanese.
(http://www.ne.jp/asahi/sound/therapy/html/healing_kaisetu_nou_no_tokusei.htm)
Each original Japanese word has its sound well matching its meaning. For example, snow is "Yuki" as it falls rather slowly "Yukkuri" (or is snow related to slow?).
So, do not teach Japanese children English before they set foundation for manipulation of Japanese spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
It is so, since Socrates would rather respect the Japanese language.

In China, it is officially reported that more than 2,000 children are abducted or traded yearly around $3,000 per child.
(http://www.recordchina.co.jp/group.php?groupid=36926)
As this is an official report by Chinese authorities, the number may be several times larger.
However, the situation in the U.S. is bleaker:
----------
The U.S. Department of Justice reports
58,200 children were the victims of non-family abductions.
115 children were the victims of "stereotypical" kidnapping. (These crimes involve someone the child does not know or someone of slight acquaintance, who holds the child overnight, transports the child 50 miles or more, kills the child, demands ransom, or intends to keep the child permanently.)

China already suffered the great Sichuan earthquake in 2008.
What should America suffer?
(Fire can be a god even in Japan as well as India, Persia, and ancient Europe. But, blue fire, namely a blue star, is rare to be a symbol of any holy festivity...though they say that February 11 could be the Japan's foundation date according to an imperial myth...

Mar 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
Mar 2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
Mar 2:12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
