1. In Russia they took homeless people off the street.
And forced them into the clean up. A death warrant. I would have to say for me, that if I could trade my life to insure that my child, and my parents, and my family, were well taken care of, I would consider it. But I do want to get old, and life is still quite interesting to me. That is a thought.... I don't really know. Good question.

3. True valor....but that is a dwindaling (sp?) thing these days.
Valor? what's that?

I'm disheartened and dispirited (and I don't bother to spell correctly anymore b/c not many ppl know the difference or will look up the words they don't know anyway).

4. $149 for one day laborer.
By ERIC JOHNSTON
Staff writer/Japan Times

OSAKA — An Osaka day laborer who responded to an ad for a truck driver in Miyagi Prefecture found himself working beside the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power station, it was learned Monday.

The man, whose name has not been released, has filed a complaint with a job placement center in Osaka's Airin day labor district. The Osaka district labor bureau is also investigating the case.

According to the Airin center, a job notice came around March 17 from a Gifu-based firm, Hokuriku Koki, which was seeking a truck driver in Onagawa, Miyagi Prefecture. Onagawa is also home to a nuclear power station, but Yoji Takeshita, an Airin job center official, said the ad did not specify where the driver was supposed to take the truck.

The job promised ¥12,000 (149.44 USD) a day and the contract was for one month.
