(Don't you know I'm flying!)TRUE HEROES IN CHANGE
Some Japanese think that voters have to support P.M. Mr. Yukio Hatoyama and his de-facto boss Mr. Ichiro Ozawa no matter what they have done, though an approval rate of the Hatoyama Cabinet fell to 19.1% according to a survey by Jiji Press Co.
The regime change the two heroes realized last year is the greatest event in half a century. Besides, it is just eight months since they took power; they cannot perform well in national administration as they have no experiences. Let's protect the two from our enemies so friendly to America and Wall Street.
But, Mr. Hatoyama and Mr. Ozawa started their career as lawmakers of the now opposition LDP. Mr. Hatoyama was once Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary in the Hosokawa Cabinet when he left the LDP during one-year opposition period for the LDP around 1993. Mr. Ozawa was a Cabinet minister of an LDP regime in 1985. They cannot be naive armatures in politics.
Mr. Hatoyama has big personal fortune. He does not need salary as prime minister. Mr. Ozawa seems to have cash of $4 million or twice in his home.
Japan is different from the world. There are ten thousand people who are qualified as prime minister in Japan. Japan can change the prime minister at any time, without causing troubles. Rather, this Japanese way must be introduced into the U.S. and China in future. "Eight months is enough for you, President! You should leave now, since your approval rate has fallen to 19.1%!"
Anyway the DPJ has 400 and more national lawmakers. They can keep power at least as long as three years partly by law. And, it is non-affiliated voters that realized the regime change last year. If P.M. Mr. Hatoyama looks like losing respect for those voters, they will want him to step down.
(More importantly, I think the judicial authorities should not prosecute Mr. Hatoyama and Mr. Ozawa for currently or once alleged violations of law. We have to forgive the two, though the current political situation in Japan looks like that in 1976 when former Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka was arrested for the Lockheed bribery scandals.)
SECTION I: The Internet
I would rather teach young students in school.
If you want to understand what the Internet is, you had better work in a factory where telephone sets and exchange machines are designed and manufactured.
Then, you had better work in an telephone central office where wires, cables, and lines connecting every phone in home and office are switched and linked.
Then, think that a telephone set grows to be a PC. Instead of using voices you speak to or hear from a telephone set, you use input from the keyboard or letters in a field on the PC screen, or a file itself to send your message or information over the telephone line.
Yes, the Internet is a kind of telephone network. Or, once a human being was a PC, and a telephone network was an Internet. And, human voices were a keyboard and data. But nowadays, you have a PC, outside your brain, linked to the network, in addition to a cellular phone.
But, it is not easy to perfectly use a PC and software as part of your brain and voices.
Anyway, I would rather teach young students in Harvard or MIT that the Internet is a kind of telephone system. It is yet to be a kind of a TV set due to Erlang and traffic congestion in principle. Work in a factory where telephone sets and exchange machines are designed and manufactured, before becoming an economist of any sort.
SECTION II: Chinese Real-Estate Bubble
There is some concern about the Chinese bubble in Japan.

The Great Bubble of China?
March 11, 2010 by Brian Summerfield
As NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun points out, they don’t have subprime loans in China, and the downpayment requirements are much higher in that country: 30 percent for primary residences, 40 percent for second homes, and 50 percent for raw land.
1.The potential economic fallout. Business and finance are more global than ever, and economic problems are rarely confined to a nation’s borders. If the downturn in U.S. housing could cause the government of Iceland to collapse (to cite just one problem), then a severe dip in China’s real estate market could do some amount of economic and political damage internationally as well.

----------
China is an autocratic state where the government and politics can control businesses and investors as it wants.
It can even order citizens not to sell their invested real estate if its price plummets or buy further till a price fall stops. The Chinese Government will settle real estate prices at a reasonable level eventually, though it will lose huge potential to manipulate currency in the international market.
However, even China with 1.3 billion population cannot be exempted from a primitive economic phenomenon, a recession or slump.
Japan should be more involved in control of the Chinese economy.

Everyone has thirteen cards from 1 to 13 or an ace to a king.
But one has a joker implicitly, exceptionally.
Another has a joker explicitly within the thirteen, exceptionally.
But, the color is different between the two card sets.
So, there are two issues: whether a joker is stronger or weaker than any other card or which is superior black or red.
Finally, what does this sort of redundancy mean (though this is not a survival game)?
Anyway, let's suppose that everyone has thirteen cards from 1 to 13 or an ace to a king. You can be qualified as an ace or a king.

Mar 5:13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
Mar 5:14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
Mar 5:15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
