The hidden past

This is a link to some thoughts about Japanese history. One viewpoint of course. Many people have the misconception that Japan is a peace loving quiet people but I certainly have seen many sides of the Japanese. Human rights are still violated daily here. People are randomly stopped on the street illegally detained, sometimes for 23 days without seeing family, being formally charged, or being read their rights. It happens to Japanese people as well as foreighners but more often to "gaikokujin" (meaning "different" people. essentially different means wrong but the language requires subtlety), especially other asians. Other asians are especially seen as "less than". There are many great things here but what I find is that the Japanese are very good at hiding their dirt and I believe the world should know the truth, all of it good or bad.
