When one considers that some of his forebears died at the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, for the Prime Minister to show affection for America and for him to ask that we remain the America he, in part, grew up in makes his oratory some of the most riveting I have heard -- a breath of fresh air amidst the miasma of M.A.G.A.'s bool-sheet.
Thank you! I could not agree more and your succinct summation about PM Kishida is what I was also thinking but brain drained from finishing a letter of my own regarding a lousy town zoning decision. I took a peak at email and am now wrestling with the fact that I broke my own rule about reading HCR's Letter in the wee hours vs. with my morning coffee as now I can't get back to sleep!! Sigh!

Yes, it's astonishing how the mere repetition of a lie gives it a presence. Then, the media's repetition of the lie amplifies and implants it in the public imagination. And so, this vapor becomes a topic for discussion. It attains a quasi-reality because even a false hypothesis exists.
Yep, no more sleep for me either. I too broke the Letters From and Civil Discourse-with-morning-coffee rule.
