The Japanese: Nuked Too Much or Not Enough?

Clearly, sake can get you stoned.

This activity has ceased because the ones doing the collecting want $15/hr for the work.
Why not, given the high degree of skill that is necessary for differentiating whether the two holes were on top when the stone was found. A critical piece of knowledge for if the collector gets it upside down, you don't have a face.
Years of advanced study must have been put into determining HOLE-not HOLE Of course there is all that time placed in the lower classes studying how to classify a stone from a rock versus a boulder and not pebble.
Such dedication to a life's work.

As to the question of whether or not Japan was nuked too much, or not enough; in regards to the various peculiarities listed under said question here from time to time; it seems to me one could put forth a Phd dissertation that the various peculiarities are the result of Japan's loss of their god/emperor Hirohito as one of the conditions of Japan's unconditional surrender to end WWII. I mean, look at the U.S., or any other country which has totally embraced secularism, relegating God, or gods, to the fringes or pronouncing them dead, and all manner of peculiarities become, if not the norm, generally accepted, at least by the alleged enlightened.
