Re: Japan to Lead the World?

Dear Friend,

Thank you for a comment.  I am not sure but think that Mr. Tso (50168529@alumni.cityu.edu.hk)
is a Chinese in Hog Kong and Mr. Minamata Shigeru (MS) (tganesh@stlawu.edu)
is a Japanese.

Again I must solve misunderstandings.  Mr. Tso cited conclusion 2 of

2020  http://www.w-g.jp/bbs/c-board.cgi?cmd=one;no=5;id=wp

********************** The below is conclusion 2

2. In Japan, until 2020, opinion to abolish the Emperor System will be much
stronger. Article 9 of Constitution of Japan prohibits Japan from having
a military force.  There is an opinion among some people that the article
9 should be revised so that Japan can have the official military force. 
If the movement to revise the article 9 actually occurs in the Diet, it will
be an occasion when the argument to abolish the Emperor System will break
out among ordinary citizen.
    But, Emperor will continue to exist in the private sector and will be
respected customarily or privately.  Once the system is abolished, if we
insist to restore the system, we will be laughed at.  This is just like that
if we insist to abolish the Diet and Cabinet of Japan and restore the Shogunate
(feudal government), we will be laughed at.

********************** The above is conclusion 2

Here, I wanted to say that in this occasion Japanese people will begin to
discuss about the abolition of Emperor System.  In Japan, only few people
criticize Emperor.  That is not because people believe in Emperor.  In Japan,
Emperor Issue is a big taboo.

There are some people who want to restore pre-war militarism.  They want
to restore pre-war Emperor System and do not want to abolish the Emperor
System.  People who want to abolish the system want to establish the true
democracy.  Please read

Also, I would like you to read

WORLD PARTY STATUTE  http://www.w-g.jp/wp/statute.htm

Here, a Chinese member wrote a draft.  According to my draft, delegates from
China are 197 among 1,000 delegates from the world.  Japan has 22 delegates. 
This is the World Party Convention.

                                                  Yours sincerely
