If somebody reads this essay, they might misunderstand that I was a fighter who fought in the security treaty struggle (No chance in a million?)
However, when I entered the college, not only 60's but also 70's security treaty struggle had already finished before ten several years.
According to my interests, I am pretty familiar with something for this period.
-----
Though I know well that I have no talent of drawing, I sometimes want to make manga-comics.
I think that the power of painting and music is prior to the power of writing, and I am proud of the person who has talents like that.
I have one big dream, and that is
"Drawing the 70's security treaty struggle with MOE painting"
Now, some historical battle ships were deformed as pretty girls of MOE painting (however I don't like them well). So the 70's security treaty struggle is going well.
Of course, the background of the thought and the phase of life are including.
Please leave it to me to make the plots.

After talking the above story, I got mail from my coworker.
"The title of the comic is "ANPOTO"
-----
He couldn't have put it better.
In my column serialisation, I often add a comment of "reviewer" as an appendix.
It is
"arrogant junior fellow", so called.
For me, I want to stop this series as soon as possible, however, strange to say,
It is popular for the editorial office
There are some readers who read only the first part and this "arrogant junior fellow".
Few negative comment is coming.
For the effectiveness of the above, I cannot decide stopping the series.
You know, his criticism has been extreme so much. so some reader who might feel complaining of my columns might feel heartily gratified.
-----
For me, I have used his criticism for my opinions with his tongue recently, though
he becomes to notice that "Ebata makes use of him well" day by day.
At last, he is going to ask me to submit the pages of "arrogant junior fellow" to him.
Now I have to submit the draft of my column to him twice. for not only the original but also the appendix
"That's a bother."
But it cannot be helped.
-----
I have just been called from the "arrogant junior fellow" after reviewing the draft.
"Ebata-san, you could get it right. I think better of you than I did before."
As usual, he was a "arrogant junior fellow" with speaking arrogant comments by the look of arrogant.
The other day, my wife said,
"We should cost a bundle for children, however the children give us something valuable far beyond the cost"
Afresh, I noticed,
"Quite so."
I had told you the above story before.
(Of course, I know that this is not a "universal answer", Please make me skip this theme more)
Above and beyond this,
-----
The other day, my daughter asked me "For you, what is our significance of existence?"
I made a reply with confidence,
"You are independent persona, which I should show my respect for your original sense of worth at the moment of your birth"
She said that
"Well, well, I can understand why I can feel your love from you"
(To be continued)
(Continuation from yesterday)
Challenging tasks are not done in business hours, but in private hours on weekends holidays and year-end holidays.
The idea of "weekend engineer" is coming to me --- unwillingly.
This can also be said "working way reform".
Although -
- Stolen the time of romance and marriage
- Reduced productivity,
- gone against the short-term trend
and
- Accelerated population decline
It is certain that it will go against what the government wants "working way reform".
I know that those who are said to be "ministers" constituting the Cabinet are competent.
And, many of the ministers are studying, endeavoring,
regardless of holiday or late night, they have been workaholics that completely ignores the policy of "work way reform" (In additon, they have enforced to the surrounding people)
Anyway, I am not interested in a minister's "competent" or "effort" itself.
It is enough for me if they are "competent" or "effort" and they will contribute to our national interests, and my interests.
Regarding private matters of a Minister, if there are even
sexual harassment, power harassment, affair, and cheating
they really do not matter for me, if it is in another world.
-----
But even I
am worried about the greatest concern that "a person who has never used a personal computer" is the minister responsible for cyber security in our country.
Of course, I also know that there are a lot of talented bureaucrats under the minister and supporting the minister.
I also know that a minister is merely a "nominal representative(mikoshi)" in the range of some duties.
(To be continued)
About ten years ago, I was a development team leader of experimental system in outdoor field.
At that time,
"I never touch "wireless communication" in any outdoor experiment.
has been my motto.
- communications were going down in some quarters,
- some unknown system failures happened,
- broken characters were inserted in communication messages
Anyway I could not fix the reason of system failures of "wireless"
-----
I know that "wireless" is useful.
It's clear if you look at your smartphone.
However, this is a result that carries(telephone companies) have invested some resources about
- more than ten years,
- tens of thousands of engineers,
- some trillion yen of money,
The input cost is different from a cost of several weeks and only a few engineers.
-----
"I never touch "wireless communication" in any outdoor experiment.
Why have I forgotten such an important thing that should have been one of the three lessons of my life?
Now, I'm standing stunning with pale in front of the large display that shows kernel panic messages (I don't understand the content).
(By the way, the security system of the Ebatas is based on the idea of "never believing in radio absolutely")
I was asked to fill out a survey once to see what books I would like Ebata to read (even if I was forced to).
I'm digesting the lists now, at a fairly nonchalant pace.
Some books I liked and some I didn't (obviously).
-----
One of the books recommended by several people was called "Slaughterhouse Organ".
However, this one doesn't seem to be to my liking and I haven't been able to finish it.
However, I also think it must be interesting, as more than one person has recommended it.
So, after confirming that the "Slaughterhouse Organ" movie was on Netflix (Netflix) titles, I subscribed it.
I didn't know that "titles can be removed after a certain period of time.
-----
I ran out of things to watch, so I showed "Violet Evergarden" to my family -- they were easily hooked.
We haven't finished watching all the episodes yet, but I think we've already confirmed to go to see the movie that's playing now.
-----
My wife used to watch "Blades of Demons", which has even become a social phenomenon, however she seems to stop watching it. She couldn't get too enthusiastic about it.
Meanwhile, my wife has completed the first three seasons of PSYCHO-PASS Psychopath in "two days".
-----
My senior daughter has decided to buy the DVD of "Scent of Woman".
Ebata: "You can watch that movie on NetFlix now.
Daughter: "I will buy it for a missionary for my friends.
My daughter also get too enthusiastic about it.
-----
"My family loves my favorite contents". I realize that this is a pretty happy thing.
I am a person who want to overcomes my own sense of discrimination by studying and studying.
However, I am afraid that this heady logic often fails to overcome the disconnect with real-world discriminatory attitudes.
Example 1:
When the old person in aunt's clothes, who looked terrible, obese, bearded, and had a negative sense of cleanliness, sat down next to me eating buckwheat, in addition to that, when my appetite was reduced to zero due to her tremendous, terrible body odor.
Just the feeling of "disgusting" and "uncomfortable" was enough to push my brain performance to 100%, and the concept of "LGBT" was blown away in front of that person.
The "beautiful" world of comics, novels, and movies is very different from the real world, and right now I don't have a medium to complement the distance between the two.
Example 2:
For a long time, I thought that "gay" was the more discriminatory term between "homo" and "gay," but it wasn't until two years ago that I learned that it was quite the opposite.
So, even when the difference was explained to me in terms of logic, I couldn't keep understanding it.
One day, I heard that the word "homo" has the same meaning as the discriminatory term "negro," and I was finally convinced from the bottom of my heart.
Now I don't use the word "homo", but rather "gay" as a unifying term.
However, you can't understand this story unless you understand the connotation of the word "negro".
In fact, when I mentioned the above to my wife, she looked like "what's what?"
-----
However, I think there are many "heady logicians" like me.
I guess you could call people like me the "LGBT pretenders".
At any rate, the "LGBT pretenders" are only a little bit better than the "people who proudly say they don't understand LGBT".
Unfortunately, I don't think we can expect to find "a way to solve this problem all at once".
I believe that the gap between the "beautiful" world of comics, novels and movies and the real world will be bridged little by little as LGBT people become more and more commonplace.
Currently, there is a trend toward easing up on the wearing of masks.
The recent weakening of the coronavirus is the reason for this, but it was mass vaccination that led to the weakening.
(1) Vaccination.
↓
(2) Virus escapes by mutant strains
↓
(3) Drive in the next vaccination.
↓
(4) The virus escapes as changing another variant.
This is the reason why the virus has reached a level where it can coexist with humans (to the extent that humans are willing to take off their masks) by repeating the same process over and over again.
The reason why we have had and must continue to have a series of vaccinations is to continue to weaken the virus and coexist with it.
I don't think this has been explained very well.
So, I see a lot of people snapping, "How many inoculations do I have to get?!" ' but the answer is clear from the start -- 'endless.
This endless vaccination may further weaken the virus and eventually drive them (the virus) to the point where they only need to be given once a year, similar to the flu vaccine.
After all, we humans cannot "win" the virus (*). The limit is "not completely defeated.
(*) Smallpox is the only infectious disease that humans have been able to eradicate.
------
By the way, I hear that "not taking off the mask" is now a problem.
Today, I would like to discuss this a bit.
It is already clear at this point that masks are effective in preventing infection, isn't it?
The reason for this is very clear.
The virus is small and passes through the mask lightly.
However, the majority of viruses are carried by droplets (spit).
And masks can prevent "droplets".
And the virus must be carried in a "certain amount" to be successfully transmitted.
In other words, when you are wearing a mask, you are safer and more secure in conversation than when you are not wearing a mask.
So it is only natural that 'wearing a mask during face-to-face conversations' is recommended.
-----
It is reasonable that there was 'mandatory/enforced mask wearing' when the coronavirus was at its initial scary level of mortality.
However, even with the current virus, which has decreased the mortality rate, wearing a mask is not "meaningless.
Therefore, I do not understand the logic of condemning, if not thanking, "people wearing masks".
------
First, I will write down the usefulness of wearing a mask as it pertains to me personally.
(1) Although weakened, it is still preventing corona infection.
(2) It is also true that seasonal influenza infection is prevented
(3) I don't have to directly inhale the recently cooled air.
(4) I don't have to worry (to some extent) about bad breath on the train after eating Ramen with garlic.
For me, they are all good.
To begin with, I am a hay fever sufferer and cannot do without a mask from January to April.
Regardless of Corona virus, I have always lived with the mask for 1/3 of the year.
I naturally remove them when I feel a lack of oxygen, such as when I am walking up a long hill, and I also remove them when I am immersed in computer work. When I am alone in my room, I naturally remove them.
My putting on/taking off the mask is in consideration of my benefits, and also should be a benefit to society (or at least not a disadvantage).
-----
On the other hand, it also seems certain that there are disadvantages to continuous mask wearing.
In that sense, "unthinking 'mask faith'" is not good.
My recommendation is to "operate mask use according to your situation".
Its operation, though, requires a somewhat cumbersome process of "judging it in your own mind from a scientific point of view," after listening to government recommendations and the opinions of various people.
-----
I am sorry if you were offended by Ebata's "uncomfortable and righteous argument" again.
However, I also have been sufficiently offended by the "need for masks" and "no masks" arguments without logic, so I think it is almost "even".
The assassination of a former prime minister finally led to a request for a dissolution order for a vicious cult that had not moved for decades.
The mass production of dead bodies in the wake of Hamas attacks on Israel is televised daily, and many feature programs have helped more and more people learn about and understand this issue (or not?). The number of people aware of and understand this issue is increasing.
I am now immersed in a tremendous sense of helplessness.
"Violence is effective enough, isn't it?"
At the very least, was it possible by 'peaceful means' to break the cozy relationship between the former Unification Association and politicians (I still don't know) and to certify that cult as "not having the qualifications to call itself a religious organization" -- I wonder.
I don't think it was possible. At least, I can't think of an alternative.
'Don't be violent' notwithstanding, 'Violence can't solve anything' is dying in my mind right now.
-----
I asked ChatGPT about this issue.
Yes, I think this answer alone was worth the price of joining the paid version.
I'll copy and paste the 'conclusion.
=====
- The phrase ' Violence solves nothing' is a general principle used to encourage the value of nonviolence and to emphasize the long-term adverse effects of Violence.
- However, the situation is complex, and Violence can provide short-term "solutions" to some problems.
- The key is a deep understanding of violence's ethical, social, and psychological consequences and the search for more peaceful and constructive solutions.
=====
Well, ChatGPT is designed to give iridescent and honorable answers.
Still, I like the part where he is honest enough to say, 'Violence can also be effective as a means of resolution,
-----
When I was young, I seemed to read a book, including the lines of,
"Let's build a nuclear power plant in Jerusalem, intentionally cause an accident (a "dirty bomb"?), and turn it into a catastrophically radioactive zone, a real "holy land" that people won't be able to enter for a thousand years or so.
I can think of no other alternative as a way to finally solve the Palestinian problem.
However, even I can see that if this 'violence' is exercised, it will lead to a war that will lead to the level of human extinction, using only conventional weapons (x nuclear weapons).
