Well, sort of. I had Seiko Noda of the LDP captive in my house for about 90
minutes on Sunday, and was able to gripe to her about the new immigration
policy:

I guess it shouldn't have come as a surprise that she had no idea that the
"foto-and-fingerprint-the-foreigners" policy included permanent residents such
as myself, but it did surprise me a little. She seemed genuinely surprised at
it, and agreed that it was kind of a waste of time and resources to do such a
thing.

She assured me that she would "look into that more closely". While I am of
course not holding my breath, it certainly did feel good to gripe in front of an
actual member of The Government, in person.

And if this ends up actually getting the law changed, you'll know how to thank.
