    As Japan becomes more and more modernized and the elderly die and their ways die with them, maybe in the next 100 years romaji/hiragana/katakana will be the norm and kanji be less widely used. It will be a shame.

    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
