		<description><![CDATA[A video I won&#8217;t be imitating any time soon, unless I ever want to put people off. Altho the speaker is facing the camera, he has his eyes closed or looking off-screen much of the time. I don&#8217;t get the feeling he is really interested in talking to me. It looks like a self-indulgent rant. [...]]]></description>

I like the background graphics. Watch for the ones that pop up when Ferguson says &#8220;Lehman Brothers&#8221;. I prefer a speaker on video [...]]]></description>

The public realises that the government is physically incapable of guaranteeing the edibility of rice all over the country. To do so will mean checking for radioactivity in every rice stalk in Japan.

Beliefs are emotional, and any emotional appeal beats reasoned debate with the masses. &#8230; [...]]]></description>

Interestingly, or perversely, some foreigners in Japan seemed to believe the sensationalist press rather than the restrained Japanese one, precisely because the restrained reports gave the impression of witholding information, leading to mistrust. Tokyo has been asking foreign media [...]]]></description>
