How Fudai, Japan Defied The Tsunami Devastation

In the rubble of Japan's northeast coast, one small village stands as tall as ever after the tsunami. No homes were swept away. In fact, they barely got wet.

Fudai is the village that survived - thanks to a huge wall once deemed a mayor's expensive folly and now vindicated as the community's salvation.

"Even if you encounter opposition, have conviction and finish what you start. In the end, people will understand."

Hello American democrats, Hello British Lib-dems and Labour political party, how do you feel about this idea? I myself can't help but feel it isn't too bad, especially if you applied it to all aspects of life such as health, education, poverty etc, the kind of stuff that enriches lives.
