Goshi Hosono: "Japan Will Really Go Down the Drain Without a Couple of People Like Myself..."

Is that so, Mr. Hosono?

At this point, all I can do is to do what's good for repelling radioactive materials - laughing out loud. LOL. Better yet, ROFLMAO, to get some more exercise.

Goshi "Do you think this craft piece is contaminated? Do you?" Hosono, ex-Minister of the Environment and current chairman of DPJ policy bureau (what policy, that's another issue), said to his eager audience in Tokyo that he is preparing himself for shouldering the burden of governing the country. Like a hero in a Greek tragedy.

From Jiji Tsushin (11/12/2012):

民主・細野氏「国背負う準備、始める」

DPJ's Hosono "I'll start preparing for carrying the country on my back" (becoming the prime minister of Japan)

　民主党の細野豪志政調会長は１２日朝、都内で行った講演で、「国を背負っていく人間が持つべき内政外交のビジョン、それを遂行する人間関係のネットワークをつくらないといけない。その準備を始めたい」と述べ、将来の代表選出馬に改めて意欲を示した。　

DPJ's Goshi Hosono, chairman of the party's policy bureau, gave a speech in Tokyo in the morning of November 12, in which he said, "We need the vision for domestic and foreign policies that one has to have in order to carry the nation forward, and we need the network of people to realize that vision. And I want to start preparation", indicating his eagerness to run in the DPJ leadership election in the future.

　細野氏は「どうしても首相にならないといけないと思っているわけではない」とする一方、「私のような人間が何人かいないと、この国は本当に駄目になる。今の永田町を見て、国政を担う態勢を整えている政治家が少ない」と語った。

While Mr. Hosono said "It's not that I have to become the prime minister", he continued, "Japan will really go down the drain without a couple of people like me. Looking at Nagata-cho [the national government] today, there are too few politicians who are preparing themselves for the governing of the nation."

Schoedinger's cat is dead; the cat is alive. It's all wonderful world of endless possibilities until you open the door, collapse the possibilities and face the reality. Many in Japan, including Hosono, have chosen to live in the endless possibilities.
