It's better for the government also investigate other propitious cults as:
-Jehova's Witnesses
-Fujisekiji Kenshoukai(冨士大石寺顕正会)
People come knocking on my door very often, and it's very annoying...
And I know at least a little bit about Fujisekiji Kenshoukai: they even charge fees to join them, and ask for donations at the end of the year.

Some people complain, saying this event should even not be an Olympics sort...
I disagree, because the athletes support each other, and there are a lot of comraderie. And The best, the more talented athlete wins...not the tallest...
Most events where the tallets has huge advantages are Volleyball, football, swimming, basketball, and many more.
It's very fun to watch them playing, and people watching this event really enjoy the atmosphere.

Japan Today should inform whether she was a single mother. what was her situation?
Anyway, she should have looked for help with relatives. If really wanted to die, she should have left the child with somebody, or with the orphanage.

Incredible that the truck was dammaged after hitting the very small boy...
So, if it wasn't dammaged, police would never find who killed the boy.
In that aspect, they were lucky.

The government should consider also dissolving 冨士大石寺顕正会(ふじたいせきじけんしょうかい)/Fuji Taisekiji Kenshoukai, which is very similar to the Unification Church.
They also ask members to buy their books and products, and ask to donate money.
At least, I wish some TV Network make a documentary on their activities...it's very similar to what the Unification Church has been doing.
