...planet is in dire straits, I find it unbelievable that wealthy (and presumably intelligent and educated) people still buy SUVs for town use when they burn so much more fuel than smaller cars. Do those people simply not care about their children's and grandchildren's future? If successful, smart people are not prepared to change the way they live, then what hope have we got?

In this day and age, a strictly cerebral Pope, or administrator Pope, would waste much of what can be accomplished from this unique public perch. At the same time, a merely made-for-media...
...future supporters and adjust strategies as circumstances require are essential traits of a strong political leader. Ozawa has all of these skills. In taking over the DPJ, his willingness to retain members of Maehara's executive team and appoint another former party president, Naoto Kan, as acting president are smart moves that preserve leadership continuity and keep the DPJ's younger members energized by letting them occupy top positions...
