Shameful Government

Can you beieve the cabinet members and some LDP Dietpeople were having a party and some of them tweeted with pictures of themselves with V sighns just at the same time the heavy rain warning were issued and many hundred thousand people were told to take refuge, and many local governments and fire departments were trying to protect the towns and people? One of the party attendee was the minister who is responsible to natural disaster, another wss the Minister of Justice who sighned to carry out seven death sentence next morning. During the disaster, the Diet passed the bill to allow casinos in Japan though most people were against it. What a shameful government we have!

Too much rain at a time caused the huge disaster this time, but after that we have had a continuing unusual heat for ten days, and a friend of mine who is growing vegetable is complaining the shortage of water. TV was saying they find extreme weather in many places on the earth, such as the heat or heavy rain in Japan. I have once read about the global problem about water. It says the main problem is the shortage of it, and when we import something, we are buying or taking the water used to produce the things. Japan's self-sustaining rate in food is around 35%. How much water we are taking from those countries suffering from the shortage of water!
We have a small vegetable garden left by my husband's family. My husband grows almost all the vegetables we need to feed six family members without chemicals. Tomatoes, cucumbers, egg plants, and okras are on the table everyday now. Rice is from the field of a friend of ours. The self sustaining rate must be rather higher than average, thanks to my husband. I feel it's not natural to eat food sent from the other side of the earth.
