Just a quick note to let you know that tomorrow sees my 41st Japan Times JUST BE CAUSE column, this time another segment on how NJ can help themselves in the face of perpetual disempowerment in Japanese society.<\/p>\n<p>A friend of mine died last May, and it came as a shock just how fast and without fanfare he disappeared from the face of the Earth (or rather, from Japanese society).  One of the problems with NJ status is that once they leave (in this case, by death), their institutionalized memory often winks out.  I propose a very simple way the Japan Times could help prevent this.  A simple column for a change with a point that needed to be said sometime, so why not now.  Have a read!
