Congrats on the guns score. Tres cool. There was the guy in Band of Brothers who accidentally discharged himself to death with a souvenir Lugar. Keep that safety in your nose and don't drop the damned thing!
Change. The forgotten anniversary of the Wright Brothers' flight reminded me, my grandfather was born in a time when man did not fly, but died shortly after man landed on the moon. Just a man. Forgotten.
And he was long-lived for his generation. Died of something we can fix now. People complain about the cost of medicine and Social Security going broke but cannot see past the politics of free medicine for all, as if flight came without cost...
People don't realize that Japan isn't any sort of a "free" society despite being one of the most sought after trading partners in the world.
Depression is rampant there and the gov can't figure out why. My thought is that a "throw away" materialistic society built on the ashes of feudalism and stratified through both class/caste structuring and ritualistic abandonment of history/family has something to do with it. But that's just me, and what does a gaijin know about it anyway?
I would like to camp overnight in their "suicide forest" and walk out again the next morning. The ghost stories about the experience would be legion. The oldest continually operating inn in the world is there too, Nishiyama Onsen, in Yamanashi Prefecture. I should like to stay and star gaze while soaking in the hot springs there. Maybe I could wash away the ghosts after my overnight camping trip in the woods at the foot of Mt. Fugi.
They also seem to be the most monolithic and least diverse socialites out there. Marching in lock-step seems to be the norm.
Here's wagering Wat sleeps amazingly soundly in the Suicide Forest.
Actually, I'd wager a blowhard like Wat would sleep for eternity in that Forest.Here's wagering Wat sleeps amazingly soundly in the Suicide Forest.

No need to travel to Japan.I would not. I'd be up all night encouraging my ghosts to join their friends and stay with them for the rest of eternity instead of with me. Ghosts with common interests ought to party together and leave us fleshies out of the deal.
