You can’t have a murder mystery without someone chomping on the victims bones.

Hardly any of them work, they take up tons of resources, and they keep rattling on about the good old days and all that bull, sapping the mental capacity of our workers. It’d be a boon to society to remove them!”
- An overly business minded politician

And people wonder why I don’t like politicians. It seems that, no matter where you go, a politician is always in an extreme when conveying something to the public. What happened to moderates?

Sounds a lot like being insane. The more I learn about Japan the more I’m really convinced that Japanese people live a very healthy life, they do everything to keep their body healthy, but they seem to compensate with a unhealthy lifestyle for the mind. Stress,…look at this and and the suicide rate !
It’s something that Japan has to work on, a perfect country doesn’t exist. But having said this, I still love Japan ;)
