OT - Discover Magazine Article on Japanese Origins While not directly relevant to the ongoing discussion here, this article may interest some of you. I found it fascinating. My apologies if this has already been posted... DISCOVER Vol. 19 No. 6 (June 1998) Japanese Roots -- Just who are the Japanese? Where did they come from and when? The answers are difficult to come by, though not impossible--the real problem is that the Japanese themselves may not want to know. By Jared Diamond discover.com

Bernie, Here is some really idle ramblings on this Sunday morning for you. It may be that as a result of the Marshall Plan and the thread of revulsion towards the wages of imperialism and war that runs deep through the fabric of the Japanese, there is little course left to them but to pursue strategys of reduced dependence on the outside and, of course, the reverse of that. Very difficult for an island nation in an increasingly globalised economic scene. If that were true, and if it is also true, that pursuit of wealth is the new battleground then we might say that the Japanese have lost the war again. How terribly tragic and poignant that must seem to them. But I am on very shaky ground philosophically and intellectually here. No reply will be met with a sigh of relief. best, Stitch
