"I am the light of the world"
Tokyo, Tokyo Bay & The Boso Peninsula
Tokyo & Part of Tokyo Bay
Part of Tokyo(I don't think personally that I am wishing to be a hero. It is so, since there are so many people who are destined for just a poor, tragic, or ordinary life. After everyone or the last man except me becomes a hero, I think I will start to think about how to become a hero. But, do you think that Jesus Christ was thinking that He was a hero of the era? So, ask Him, "Are you a hero, Sir?" "You said so." First, examine your secret motivation to ask Him so. Do not try to test Him but try to learn from Him, which is a matter of faith.)
How to Cope with Armed Robbers from the Continent (Defense avec famille et amis)
If you have $1 billion, you are making others poorer or the society worse by $1 billion.
If you have $1 million, you are making others poorer or the society worse by $1 million.
If you have one hundred dollars, you are making others poorer or the society worse by one hundred dollars.
If you have one dollar, you are making others poorer or the society worse by one dollar.
And, it means a ceiling of the effect resulted from your work you are doing to save the poor and the world.
No matter how much you, with $1 million as personal assets, try to save the poor and the world, a result of your work is making others poorer or the society worse by $1 million.
That is why you must have no personal assets when you try to save the poor and the world.
That is why you must have no assets, including those which can be regarded as your personal assets, when you try to save the poor and the world.
This is a principle.
Only a poor man can save the poor and the world as proven in the case of Jesus Christ.
And, if you are afraid that you will become more foolish if you do not try to save the poor and the world, no matter how many assets you have, you can be wiser.
SECTION I: Security Partnership of Japan and the United States
As those who virtually claim that America is the "Empire of Evil" over the media and Internet, while living a rich life in Japan which is realized through trade with America, support Mr. Ichiro Ozawa, an old friend of America, so fanatically and blindly, the DPJ leadership election is not a contest based on policies but a kind of mass fanaticism. Yet, they, who hail Mr. Ozawa now, are those who once harshly criticized Former P.M. Mr. Junichiro Koizumi as simply supported by mass fanaticism, since they thought they had been treated unfairly badly by the then P.M. Mr. Koizumi.
Now, in Japan, some strong American forces are stationed legitimately through the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty.
-----------------
As of December 2009[update], there are 35,688 U.S. military personnel stationed in Japan, and another 5,500 American civilians employed there by the United States Department of Defense. The United States Seventh Fleet is based in Yokosuka. The 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force (III MEF) is based in Okinawa. 130 USAF fighters are stationed in the Misawa Air Base and Kadena Air Base.
Army: 2,541
Navy: 3,740
Air Force: 12,398
Marines: 17,009
Total: 35,688[2]
The Japanese government paid 217 billion Yen (US$ 2.0 billion) in 2007[3] as annual host-nation support called Omoiyari Yosan (****, sympathy budget or compassion budget).[4]
Currently the US government employs over 8,000 MLC/IHA workers on Okinawa (per the LMO) this does not include Okinawan contract workers.

-----------------
Specifically, the U.S. has stationed in permanent bases one U.S. aircraft carrier fleet in Japan, also operating 2 cruisers, 5 destroyers, 2 frigates, 4 amphibious assault ships, 2 minesweeper tenders, more than 10 antisubmarine air crafts, etc.
The U.S. has in permanent bases six major airfields in the Tokyo, Kanagawa, Aomori, Yamaguchi, and Okinawa Prefectures, operating 48 F-15s, 36 F-16s, 2 surveillance plane E3s, some KC-135s and RC-135s, and other military planes and helicopters.
The U.S. has in permanent bases 2,000 Army troops and 16,000 Marines (nominally) mainly in the Okinawa island close to Taiwan and Shanghai.
On the other hand, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force has total 150 ships, including 6 AEGIS ships, 44 other escort ships (destroyer-class), 18 submarines, 2 minesweeper tenders, 180 planes, and 142 helicopters.
The Japan Coast Guard has total 220 ships and 73 planes/helicopters.
The Japanese Air Self-Defence Force has about total 850 planes, including 202 F-15s, 94 F-2s, 70 F-4s, 13 E2s, and 4 AWACS E767s, in addition to 54 helicopters.
The Japanese Ground Self-Defence Force has 155,000 troops as authorized strength, with about 550 armored artillery vehicles, 1,200 tanks, 2,500 armed vehicles, 480 helicopters, etc.
If Japan spends annually $2.0 billion for its own expansion of defence forces instead of support for U.S. forces, every year Japan can increase the number of F-15s by 70, since one F-15 costs $30 million in America. In 10 years, Japan can have 700 more F-15s, resulting in 1,000 F-15s in total.
As one aircraft carrier fully armed is built and equipped at $5.0 billion in America, if Japan spends annually $2.0 billion for its own building of aircraft carriers instead of support for U.S. forces, in 10 years Japan can have 4 fully armed aircraft carriers.
In summary, Japan does not need to have U.S. forces stationed in the Japanese islands, including Okinawa, while providing $2.0 billion every year free to the American Government.
So, the key to understanding the matter is, of course, in nuclear capability as well as influences on South/North Koreas, China, Russia, and other South East Asian nations, in addition to the Pacifist Constitution of Japan.
Taking this national and international security issue into consideration, incumbent P.M. Mr. Nato Kan, an anti-Vietnam War student around 1970, seems to be safer for citizens to have than challenger Mr. Ichiro Ozawa, a pro-Chinese/Korean but very conservative lawmaker since 1969, for Mr. Ozawa is supported so much now by "anti-Koizumi" critics and journalists who hate the Security Partnership of Japan and the United States.
Anyway, Japanese voters, taxpayers, consumers, workers, and citizens need a prime minister who understands a need to keep bad guys from the Asian Continent and Siberia at bay.
SECTION II: Global Climate Risk Index 2010
----------
Global Climate Risk Index 2010 - reflecting most severely affected countries over almost two decades
Copenhagen needs to respond
Press release
Copenhagen/Bonn, 8 December 2009: The climate and development organization Germanwatch published its Global Climate Risk Index 2010 in Copenhagen today, ranking Bangladesh, Myanmar and Honduras as the countries most severely affected by extreme weather events from 1990 to 2008. When only considering the year 2008, Myanmar, Yemen and Viet Nam have been hit hardest. According to Germanwatch, the Index, based on data made available by the NatCatSERVICE database of Munich Re, underlines the need for the current climate summit to step in and to help those countries to adapt to climate change...

The climate risk index for the U.S. is 36.5.
The climate risk index for Japan is 73.25.
Remarkably, Japan is twice less affected and endangered by the climate change than America is.
But can you believe that America is more dangerous than Pakistan or Afghanistan is?
*** *** *** ***
Rich people are busy enjoying life, so that they do not risk their life to address any social and global problems.
Rich people are foolish or evil people who opt for riches while the society is getting worse due to their presence.
That is why Jesus Christ did not make poor people rich to save them.
Money cannot solve problems in the world. A national budget cannot solve problems in a nation. Personal assets cannot solve problems in a family. People just succumb to temptation of riches money promises.
For example, Mr. George W. Bush, a son of a very rich family, finally failed, loosing face.
For example, Mr. Yukio Hatoyama, a son of a very rich family, finally failed, loosing face.
But, in China and North Korea (and Russia), people are not allowed to point to any failure of their rich leaders.
