Yamagata Prefecture on Japan Sea is known for its rice, sake and hot springs - onsens. This part of Japan is remote: one has to travel some 800km by trains from places like Nagoya. Melancholic beauty is immense. This is where one can stroll by the shore, soak in mineral water, eat exquisite local food, dream, stargaze and philosophize.

Just read your piece on Counterpunch---I, too am disgusted by the apathy and intellectual sloth of my fellow citizens. I am told to 'be positive' when I bring up the issues that face us...I would be in the streets but for the iatrogenic illness that is impairing my life with no end in sight. I have no resources. I live on disability payments...I don't even have a CAR...the US is a third world nation now and the pharmaceutical companies and their relentless marketing of drugs for bogus conditions with catastrophic consequences for the duped patient...I could go on and on...capitalism is killing the planet and it's clear to me that those of us who do think, and who have put up some resistance are being targeted for extermination in subtle and not so subtle ways. All I can do now is keep on speaking out, try to educate the people in my small sphere...I am as sickened by all this as you are. The personal is political and the micro is the macro.
