It is not unthinkable that you or one of your neighbours has an imitation samurai sword on the mantlepiece. I bet my bottom dollar that in this troubled world - the general readership of indymedia ireland can whistle the theme tune. annoying little melody gets into your brain & just won't go away. I've just reminded you of it. You're remembering it. You've started whistling it. That's it. Kill Bill is in your brain now for till at least tea time.
Isho Ito is the first mayor of Nagasaki to die in violent circumstances since 1945.
& recent campus violence - our language nor pitch may be allowed to change. Many vulnerable and lonely ugly unhappy people with guns or that 5% of gay muslims who don't like the sauna won't realise it's ok to be free.

Tomorrow's big scary picture. Obviously tomorrow's big scary picture is not the hundreds dead in Iraq - go look at a big news stands where they put them all together. They've shown you the culprit's cold-sore, his blog and his dvd collection.
Will VT day come to replace 911 Nagasaki, Darfur, the Holocaust & Hiroshima as the lesson of Terror in our young minds?
Will the Yamaguchi Gumi Yakuza & non-Yamaguchi Gumi Yakuza be brought to justice?
These & more questions will be answered next week. Roughly the same time & place. Go on you were talking about Iraq & Vietnam. yeah. of course we are. keep on track. our most vulnerable to the center please. we're not scared.
(The fastest growing group in Japanese prisons are over 65year olds)
interesting report from today's New York Times :-
...........From 2000 to 2006, the number of older criminals soared by 160 percent, to 46,637, from 17,942, according to Japan’s National Police Agency. Shoplifting accounted for 54% of the total in 2006 and petty theft for 23%............at an average age of 74 — with the oldest at 88 — these were not typical inmates. Work was kept light, and if any felt ill, they could lie down nearby on a tatami mat. Prescription drugs, wheeled walkers and a stretcher were also kept on hand, as well as a box of “discreet, underwearlike” adult diapers........“In our workshop for the elderly, we definitely receive preferential treatment,” said one 76-year-old, who works six hours a day, or two hours less than younger inmates with more strenuous jobs. “In general, you know, the conditions are much, much more severe.”
