It is possible to run a shogunate without a Japanese presiding as Shogun just as its possible to follow the English common law without the House of Lords being the court of last resort!

And though Kolea seemed to say no, he said in the same breath that he is still dealing with the at least the legacy today <BR/><BR/>I was actually speaking more of the influence regarding the stolen lands issues. And I don’t know if it’s just generational or whether there’s still an ethic component to the opposition. I wasn’t being a wise guy- I’m not a Democrat and can only look at the lege and see what actions reveal.
