My Ancestor Yozaemon Masafusa Kageyama and Toyotomi Hideyoshi

I climbed 500 steps, and paid my respect to the great #ToyotomiHideyoshi in #Kyoto #Japan.

A cruel killer to some, an amazing leader who rose from poverty to unite a nation to others, he gave my ancestors a name nevertheless.

His tomb lays on the top of a hilltop, called Toyokuni Shrine, built by the #Hachisuka family, the latter who my ancestors, Yozaemon and Bunzaemon Kageyama, served.

#MasakatsuHachisuka was the teacher and close advisor of the younger, Hideyoshi, and also the founder of Tokushima, Japan.

 






Masakatsu Hachisuka gave one of my ancestors the title of the "Shikata 7" for their valor and courage, during the Siege of Miki Castle.

Hideyoshi would later repeat this tradition, and name "his best warriors," the Seven Spears of Shizugatake.

American Child Support: Broken, Corrupt, Misandrist, and Inhumane

Image
Introduction The dysfunctional and counterproductive Child Support system in the United States is predicated on myths, which don’t correlate with the reality of contemporary America. It’s an institution that is too often an excuse for misandry and its historical precedents through two former American presidents, were established on greed and hypocrisy. For the indigent, it is an oppressive system which regularly violates constitutional and human rights, while ultimately leading to the archaic internationally banned debtors’ prisons. For others, it’s a corrupt and ineffective enterprise, wherein the State and Federal bureaucracies though perhaps with well-intentions, have grown exponentially via profiting from the cruel coerced separation and tragic alienation of broken families. Today, the American Child Support system relies too heavily on monetary means and government intervention as the panacea to broken families. Compared to other systems worldwide, it is too slow in reform, while ...
