Bummer there is not silver! I probably would pass because I don't like any modern politicians, all they care about is power and money. You have been in Japan a long time. By now it must feel much more like home than the US, and plus you don't get all the political correctness crap we constantly get here...
Oh, the PC stuff is happening everywhere. We have it in Japan too. But it's easier for me to ignore since I can just shut out the Japanese. Score! 😃
