One Enemy, Two Friends, & Three Fatal Enemies
(un homme riche, les pauvres, et rivaux en amour)
At last, autumn has come to Japan as a big political event ended with a kind of drastic victory for incumbent Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan in the party election to choose its new head.
(It was 73 degrees F or 23 degrees C as the highest temperature in Tokyo today.)
Since the defeat of the Upper-House election on July 11, 2010, P.M. Mr. Kan was under strong pressure. It was mainly driven by a kind of abnormal uniqueness of Former P.M. Mr. Yukio Hatoyama and augmented by a kind of crazy obsession of a political magnate Mr. Ichiro Ozawa.
So, P.M. Mr. Kan's leadership is endorsed by a majority of parliament members of the DPJ.
Yet, my advice to P.M. Mr. Naoto Kan, a 30-years-long Lower-House member, is to refer to past exceptional examples, such as the formation of the Koizumi Cabinet, as the Prime Minister is now busy designing new structure of his Cabinet and the party management team.
(Just for your information, P.M. Mr. Kan as party head of the ruling DPJ has appointed incumbent Foreign Minister Mr. Katsuya Okada to the Secretary General of the DPJ, a politically key position Mr. Ozawa occupied under the Hatoyama regime. Who the next Foreign Minister of Japan will be is yet to be announced.
Notably, Chief Cabinet Secretary Mr. Yoshito Sengoku is reportedly to continue the present function as the virtually No.2 state minister. Minister Mr. Sengoku entered the University of Tokyo in 1964 to leave it, for he passed the bar examination, in 1968 when the anti-Vietnam War student movement was at its climax in Japan. Both the Prime Minister and the Chief Cabinet Secretary were born in 1946, though Mr. Sengoku was first elected in the Lower House election in 1990, a decade later than Mr. Kan. Nobody knows how anti-American Mr. Sengoku is, though he works everyday in the office of Prime Minister.)

(Note: I have no intention to cooperate with anybody participating in the Davos Meeting by offering this as presentation material. History must be studied not in a gorgeous hotel but in a humble library or a classroom. Then it might help somebody avoid mind control by super-rich men and wealthy economists.
An enemy of true economics is enjoyment of riches, since true economics serves the God.)

That's why I strongly support the Providing Resources to Improve Dual Language Education (PRIDE) Act, which establishes and expands language programs in classrooms across the country, closing this gap. And since children more easily absorb foreign languages than older students and adults, I’ll soon introduce the Global Languages Early Education (GLEE) Act to focus funds on early education. Because, developing our youngest minds is the best path toward increased fluency now and improved competitiveness later.

Living on the coast, one only needs to go thru a drive thru restaurant to know that English is not the language of this land any longer. Can't even get an order in. Frankly, living in America, I would appreciate those living here would learn our language, as a requirement. While I am all for learning additional languages as an elective, I think it is more important right now to help others speak English. Do you realize how much money our schools waste sending out notices with pupils in 10 different languages? A STACK of papers, for one little notice! I doubt there is another country in the world that does this.

The Chinese Communist Party seems to have a strategy to make more and more Americans learn the Chinese langauge.
Then, such Americans might believe history of China written in Chinese more than in English or Japanese...
Jesus Christ is believed to have spoken Aramic, an ancient language that was alive till the sixth century, though some preserve it in Israel and Los Angeles today.
His direct disciples are believed to have spoken only Aramic.

Mar 9:16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
Mar 9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
Mar 9:18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
Mar 9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
