I posted the story once before, but I don't even like to think about it. A woman I was with was raped and the whole thing was a horror.

It's moral to rape the infidels.

Two tourists engrossed in their guidebooks and heading for the birthplace of Jesus Christ unwittingly wandered into the centre of a war zone on Tuesday. The Japanese couple were amazed to find that Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity was at the centre of a 16-day old siege between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian gunmen.
Is it Yatta bump time?............

Hard to imagine that anyone could have missed this conflict.
These two must live in their own little world.......

Even when on the road I caught the news now and then!
In the Middle East, it would be mandatory.

the closest I've come was being in Panama when they were having their elections between Noriega and Endara.. Endara won and people were all jubilant in the streets, cars honking horns and flashing lights, people waving handkerchiefs from balconies, you get the picture..until a couple hours later when Noriega said that, "No... *I* won"

The first piece was that Japan will be a hot place to put your money, in about 10 years.
I'd rather see the Japanese economy be vibrant...but I have my doubts.
I get to see Japanese work associates when they visit the USA about once every six months.
They simply get gloomier and gloomier about their country.
And if the Japanese authorities MUST do something about their banking industry/loan industry
problems...or things will really go into the tank.
I hope the Japanese do reverse course, but I'm not optimistic. But surely at
some point they must "hit bottom" and come back.
As for rice farming, I think I heard that the rice farms in Arkansas were going
belly-up; can't remember if it was due to low international prices.
But who knows? Maybe it's time for a contrarian move into the rice bidness.
