Dear Tokyo Metropolitan Police,

Shoichi Nakagawa was Japan's finance minister, possibly drunk on taxpayer money at a Group of Eight ministers' meeting called to address the global financial crisis in Rome. Was that criminal negligence?

Democratic Party of Japan leader Ichiro Ozawa was neither naked nor drunk when his scandal hit, but does that excuse the behavior of these professional men who are supposed to look after our money, our safety, and our children in Japan? There are food-mislabeling scandals, nuclear plant fires, the Orix-Kampo no Yado hotel "fire sale" fiasco, and people are dying in ambulances because hospitals refuse to accept them. These seem like real issues to me.
