Abe-Cabinet made too many controversial statements. They have improper bookkeeping problems too. Accounting for pension may be also a big problem. Many people are fed up. Pension reform is also a bog problem. And also Neo-con's market fundamentalism called as American model of free-market capitalism by Japanese seems to live in disfavor in Japan. I guess Japan would chose English model. If I explain alternatively. However, I think both ruling party and opposition parties are English moderately. But people seems to regard it as American-model. This situation may turn up some Americans. But it is just a cultural difference. I hope they understand the difference.
However, it is very difficult to foresee the results of the elections. Abe might win.
During the campaign, a famous politician, 亀井静香(Kamei Shizuka), said a very interesting thing. He said ideal country is Bulukeba(Bhutan). I doubted my ears. But he said so. He said we are going after money and material object too much. Of course, he is capitalist. All LDP's coalition administration were made by him. He was expelled from LDP by ex-prime minister Koizumi. I had been feeling same some thing in his message. I got the why.
I think ruling parties keep their feet on the ground too much. Opposition parties stick to their ideal too much. There is no party which is perfect for me. But I voted for DPJ because I thought Neo-con's policy is not adapted into Japanese society.
福沢諭吉 (Fukuzawa Yukichi) said
(Fukuzawa Yukichi was one of the most important academian in Japan. He is the face of ten-thousand yen bill.)
宜しく彼の文明を採り此の人心風俗を察し、その国体に従いその政治を守り、これを適するものを撰びて、取るべきものを取り捨てるべきを捨て、始めて調和の宜しきを得べきなりと。
『文明論の概略』 福沢諭吉著 岩波文庫 P29 L11~13
I translated.
Employ European civilization well and see about our fundamental character of the nation. Comply with our fundamental character and keep our policy. Employ a (European) policy which is suitable. Throw by a (European) policy which is not suitable. Take it we should take. Throw by it which we should throw. Then we can bring balance into our society.
文明には外に見わるる物事と内に存する精神と二様の区別あり。外の文明はこれを取るに易く、内の文明はこれを求むるに難し。
同書 P29 L 15~16
Civilizations is double-sided. One is things superficial. The other is inner mentality. The superficial one is easy to take. The inner one is difficult to take.
ある人はただ文明の外形のみを論じて、文明の精神をば捨てて問わざるものの如し。
同書 P31 L2~3
Some one only debate about outer shape and he doesn't discuss about mentality of civilization.
国の文明を謀るには、その難を先にして易を後にし、難きものを得るの度に従ってよくその深浅を測り、乃ちその易きものを施して、正しくその深浅の度を適しめざるべからず。もしあるいはこの順序を誤り、いまだその難きものを得ずして先ず易きものを施さんとするときは、ただその用を為さざるのみならずかえって害を為すこと多し。
同書 P29 最後の行から
When you consider about civilization. Tackle the difficult one at first. Then tackle the easy one later. As you got the difficult one, you must investigate about its "depth" and its "depthless" . Then, bring it to effect adequately. If you screw the order, If you you take easy ones at first and don't get difficult one, it would be brain-dead policy, rather it has a harmful influence.
Well,
He would be right.
A thinker, Nishibe Susumu, said "Country which lives where apart from its own history tends to addle.". Maybe he is right. I think we have to take care not to cause political paralysis. I thought DPJ's policy (also Kamei Shizuka's policy) is more stable, when I think of the long-term benefits. After all, most of politicians are a capitalist. Economic growth is one of most important things for them and me. I don't know whether I'm right or not. But it is limits of my abilities.
Other people would think otherwise. I look forward to see the result tonight.
This morning I met a beetle lie face up on the road. It was very dangerous situation because many cars run the road. I got it home and fed him. Might be it is rumored that I give them royal jelly among beetles. And it advisedly lied face up to get royal jelly. Hmm, anyway it is fun to play with beetle. haha. The photo is the beetle. I took it this morning. Its his pose when I found him.
Have a great sunday!
P.S.
DPJ won by far. DPJ (Prime minister Abe) lost.
