...Rather than allow such matters to pass unaddressed, we should view them as opportunities to unite as a campus and to highlight the values that connect us rather than the differences that divide us. To conceptualize these incidents as isolated events targeting specific groups is to deny the fact that we are all connected as a student body and as a community. Whether these incidents of ignorance and racial discrimination strike far away or close to home, we are all affected...
...Canadian sales executive for a global media company, who requested anonymity because he is negotiating a severance package with his former employer, is another expat who has been living parsimoniously since being laid off.

We have to make everything open. My view is that Japanese society is a very closed society. But when it comes to political donations, I think that politicians should be able to rely on donations from anyone and should be able to use them as they wish, so long as everything is fully disclosed, and is available to the Japanese voters. It is up to the voters to make the decision as to whether such donations...
