Which numbers are you using?
Hate to say it but the latest numbers had been bloted twice through propaganda.
What numbers do you mean? Can you provide a link to the source? I ask because China had about 500 million people around start of WWII, and 4% deaths is about 20 million, which is in the mainstream of historical estimates.

Back to bottling my Grenache

I just can't dislike Putin, I don't trust him in the least, but I admire him a great deal, we only have one man in the states who has this kind of stones, Senator Ted Cruz!

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (

Two seats on the City Council are up for election. No one filed for office, however, during the regular filing period.

This story has been corrected to reflect that Clause is the former president of the North Pole Chamber of Commerce, not the current president.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (UPI) -- The head of Alaska Airlines, which proudly touts a baggage delivery guarantee policy, made an embarrassing confession -- his own airline misplaced his luggage.

Chief Executive Bradley Tilden admitted on stage last week at an airline summit in Washington, D.C., that his own airline misplaced his luggage on his flight to Washington and it was delivered to him the next day.

Tilden said the airline lost his luggage on one other occasion, 25 years earlier.

"The media is here and I'm hoping that you don't write this down and print it,"

him as saying.

Alaska Airlines offers a guarantee pledging customers will receive their luggage within 20 minutes of reaching their gates. The airline said customers whose bags aren't returned in time are awarded a $25 credit toward a future flight or 2,500 miles toward the airline's reward program.

Tilden did not say whether he will claim the compensation.

your words sound like similar to "holocaust denial". And it is precisely your kind of altitude among the Japanese politicians (to argue about numbers to whitewash the atrocity) that destroy any possible trust of the sincerity of the so-called apology. The number commonly accepted outside Japan is 20 million, let's say for a second that it is twice bloated, that is still 10 million. Tell me, what is the difference? Does killing 10 million makes it less of a crime?
It is a bad to commit crime, it is even worse of another magnitude to twist around numbers like snake.

And maybe from this, Blakestone can realize where there is no need for government stoking.
