HOORAY FOR TOYOSATO!!!

Residents of the beautiful little town of Toyosato across the Lake have taken a very encouraging step for the future of politics in Japan. They have voted to remove the Town Mayor from office, saying that his unilateral actions in attempting to destroy a beloved landmark school do not accord with the feelings of the townspeople. The bullying tactics of the thugs the Mayor sent to carry out his order didn't help much either. This Mayoral expulsion, way under-reported in the Western media, is causing a very big grassroots reaction that may change the face of Japanese politics forever, as the people take back their power from the hands of self-serving politicians.
