Japan SuspendsThe Death Penalty

Japan and the United States are the two major countries of the western world, who still have the death penalty. There are reports today, that the new justice minister, Eda Satsuki has effectively susoended capital punishment. There’s a detailed report here on UPI.

He is also quoted in The Times as saying “Human beings are rational creatures. I think it’s wrong-headed to claim that taking the life of a person is the expression of a rational nature”.

I’ll agree with that.

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
