Prime Minister Kan and the Japanese Government have set a precedent, in reference to the Law.

August 16, 2011

Prime Minister Kan and the Japanese Government have set a precedent, in reference to the laws or acts that have been enacted.  It it that neither they nor Japanese citizens actually have to follow them.  By their total disregard of the Japanese Act on Welfare and Management of Animals, it can easily be argued that since they ” the government” did not have to follow the laws or act that had been established, why should the person that has been accused of not following a different law.  Maybe the accused can use the fact that he/she was having a crisis, and if it was a good enough reason for the Prime Minister, his cabinet members, and the Japanese Government, then it should be good enough for him/her.  There is nothing that has been enacted that should limit the type of crisis you can have, I think.  So, for them to try to enforce laws on their citizens,  maybe the accused citizen will get a really good attorney that will argue the case that if the Government does not feel the need to follow its own laws, they why should their client be subjected to a different standard.

It is another accomplishment that the Prime Minister Kan and his government have established.  Let’s give him a big thumbs up on this one.

set a precedent

Establish a usage, tradition, or standard to be followed in the future.  The word precedent  signifies a previous instance or legal decision upon which future instances are based, a usage dating from the early 1400s. In law it more specifically refers to a legal decision that may be used as a standard in subsequent cases.


Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and the Japanese Government have violated the Japanese Act on Welfare and Management of Animals.

August 16, 2011

The Japanese Government is in violation of the Japanese Act on Welfare and Management of Animals.  Or is it that the Japanese Government considers itself above the law?  Knowing the law,  when they forced the Fukushima evacuees or refugees to leave their animals, the Japanese Government deliberately violated the Japanese Act of Welfare and Management of Animals .  When the Japanese Government decided to enforce the abandonment of the animals in Fukushima, they changed from being a Democratic Government to a DICTATORSHIP.   Prime Minister Noda and his Japanese Government made Japan into a non-Democratic society.  The Japanese people are now under DICTATOR Noda.  I think that the title ” Prime Minister” should be reserved for Democratic societies, which it is no longer since the rise of DICTATOR Noda.  His dictatorship does not have to obey the laws of Japan.  Dictator Noda has shown that he has complete disregard for what is legal and what is not.  DICTATORS and DICTATORSHIPS also like to monitor comments and hire companies to do their work.
