Sweet, I would love to meet memebers one day. I have great respect for them ever since I read about the Earthquake in Kobei (is that correct spelling?), the Yakuza put boxes on street corners with food, clothing, blankets etc etc for the refugees all paid form thier own pockets. They done this mear hours after the quake hit and I belive they saved thousands through thier efforts in the aftermath. It is more than could be said for the government with the ultra slow response.
