Odds of the next chapter in "The Shock Doctrine" being all about Japan? |

I watched the documentary of the Naomi Klein book of the same name the other day and it's hard, real hard to not imagine Japan as being next.
After all, Japan was Americanized in the post-WWII years. Milton Friedman was just starting out.
I'm chasing info on the events in Japan like so many of you.
But, I just can't stop wondering.

1. Because everyone's plans go just as they plan them. |

Especially the ones Naomi Klein writes about. It's good that you've found a guiding philosophy. What are the chances that there are others?

2. "It's good that you've found a guiding philosophy." - WTF? |

4. Not sure if it fits the Japanese culture |
|
Take a look at what their CEOs make, instances of their CEOs falling on the sword. For it to be successful you need a support group of immoral people and a high enough percentage of the population supporting the stupidity.
In the U.S., yes, Japan I don't see it.
