That'll give'em an image the public won't forget.

It's not just that no one has tried to stop them, it's just that (from what you've said) the Japanese seem to accept things the way they've always been and not really look at WHY they are doing things that way, or how they could do them differently--it's just a conformity with "this is the way we've always done it, so don't ask questions." That's the way it's always been, and that's the way it will always be. Relax. Conform. (I know this goes against the grain of who you are, which is, again, why I can't believe you are living there without going crazy.) I recommend you look up Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery," read it, and give the theme some thought. I'm sure the text is available online, since it is a classic and not that long. Mindless conformity without question is not the American way! Think of what you’ve told us of other annoyances, especially in education.
