I doubt there are many Kamikaze pilots left from WWII, their job description sort of doesn't lend itself to high survival rates afterall Thom.

BTW, I think Kamikaze translates to something like Divine Wind.

Can we stop having an explanation of the difference between the Japanese and English pronunciations of "Fukushima" every time it's mentioned? We're speaking English here, how about we just use that pronunciation and leave it without comment. When talking about Argentina, we don't comment every time that it's pronounced /arhentina/ in Spanish.

BTW, Japanese has many dialects, and they often differ in where they place the emphasis in a word. To add to this, if you really want the Japanese pronunciation, you have to pronounce the f as a bilabial fricative rather than as a labio-dental fricative, pronounce the u's unrounded, and use a pitch accent instead of a stress accent.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
Robert Greenwald, political activist and founder and president of Brave New Films
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
