Someone sent me a link to this online petition:

via Petition EVACUATE FUKUSHIMA 福島の子供を守れ.
The problem with demanding the state take on more and more responsibility and force other people to do something is that it usually ends in tears, and something other than the result the well-intentioned had anticipated.

This one’s pretty depressing. Top of the list is “Was busy with club activities so didn’t have any free time” and “Was busy studying so didn’t have any free time” comes in at #4. All work and no play and all that, so it’s not surprising that No. 2 is “was at a loose end every day.”
