		<description>People in both the United States and Japan have the government pension on their minds: its soundness and solvency in the future. From what I have read Japan will come to have an even  smaller proportion of workers to retirees, the result in part of the declining birth rate and Japanese longevity. As a retired individual I know that without my supplementary private pension, my government pension (Social Security) would not be adequate.</description>

		<description>Sigh...  Another Seijin-no-Hi, another chance for the local 20-year-olds to "confirm their adultivity", to steal a phrase from The Simpsons, by getting drunk and throwing bottles around in the street behind my house.

What's worse is that with each passing year, I feel myself getting madder at those "punk kids" on seijin-no-hi.</description>
