It is from Japan. I have mixed feelings about it myself, and frankly I was hoping that my posting them now and then would elicit more comments about the medium rather than the message. So thanks for your comment about the medium!

I don’t think I like this development. People remember pictures better than just words and I don’t trust whoever is choosing the pictures. There is too much interpretation and speculation being presented as news already without someone turning it into an action movie.

I doubt I would understand the words without it.
