I stand behind my prediction that in the not too distant future voluntary euthenasia will be seen as a patriotic act in Japan.
It is every citizen's final duty.

In 2001, he said he wanted Japan to become the kind of successful country in which "the richest Jews would want to live".

What if the richest Jews are elderly?  :hmm:

Besides, I'm not actually a socialist.  I find a lot of that stuff kinda creepy.  Sure the May Day parades with the tanks are pretty cool, but I'm still actually a capitalist.

Okay, you're a Democratic Socialist.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
