A MUCH NEEDED RETURN

OF COMMON SENSE 

FORT LAUDERDALE, DECEMBER 2005:  The world is out of control…. Today's political atmosphere is uncommonly edgy. People are choosing sides, for or against, the present administration.

Fort Lauderdale, DECEMBER  2005:  Japan, the 1930s. Women's rights simply didn't exist. Daughters of the lowliest peasant to the highest noble found themselves as mere chattel for men's pleasure or power play.

Forced marriages have been prevalent in Asia and Africa throughout history and in many places still are. Few have been as artfully contrived as that of Hiro Saga to the Chinese emperor's brother - a marriage designed by the Japanese miltary to change the face of Asia's greatest imperial system.
