Yesterday, while waiting for T-san of Kurikinton to feel better, I was reading Newsweek, which had been delivered on Friday.
“The Day Asia Becomes a Battlefield,” also a major headline on the cover… Are China and North Korea the only troublemakers? The “addiction to military expansion” spreading across Asia and the real possibility of war…
The December 1, 2010 issue.
I thought… Even in the 21st century, we have not even escaped poverty…
Why not just gather all the soldiers and militarists from around the world in one place and let them fight to their hearts’ content in something like K-1, like gamecocks fighting?
Let us have no more of humanity being threatened by these people and being unable to grow wiser, even in the 21st century…
Gather all the soldiers, militarists, and dictators from around the world in one place… Let them punch each other, kick each other, or do whatever they like until they are satisfied… Anyone who seriously injures an opponent is to be arrested on the spot… Sent to a detention camp—no, send them off to a star in Centaurus on the Galaxy Express.
Thinking about such things made even me tired… Oh, to hell with it, there was nothing for it but to go back to sleep.
And so, by the time I arrived in Arashiyama, it was past three in the afternoon, and the sun was hidden behind the mountains.
