I guess what I was thinking of was a long term strategy to benefit from the lesson of this mess they have got themselves into...Break the pattern completely with a parallel strategy that will put them in a new kind of leadership (by example) position in the next century.......become more efficient in their home society..less energy use, longer lasting materials, take full advantage of recycling, minimize waste, utilize silicon/sand for more materials including building materials (ceramics), fuel cells...did you know that they know how to separate hydrogen from water at room temperature?..expedite their world leading solar heating technology....network all homes with fiber optic information tubes so more people can learn and work at home reducing the need for transportation and extra built space and providing more time for gift giving (a big thing in Japan)....while we luxuriate in the in flow of money to America and continue our wasteful practices..loosing quality of life and competetive edge (if indeed that is important in the real scheme of things in a sustainable society)...In such a society one could envision one would need less people to produce and could benefit from more people skilled in social skills like gift giving....Sounds to me like Kerala (30 million People) in India at an equivalent Per capita income of US $1200 is moving in a more sensible direction ...although I have not been there..I mean a 'sea change"....with the option of opting out of this madness that we are involved in in the so called International world of investment ...and finance?...Maybe the worst thing that happened for both Japan and the world (especially with the destruction that the Japanese did to their neighbors in the 30's and 40's) was for Perry to go in there and "open up Japan for world trade"?..as a back up for a transition stage they have the vast resources of Siberia at their doorstep and are well connected politically into it!...Then when The Western Banks through their proxies called a meeting they wouldn't need to show up and we would have a world class example of how to move into the future and would have less of our hard earned money going to bail out corrupt people backed by inept banks....and so it goes.... .just a reckless thought from an Island in the Pacific Northwest!.
