A 9.0 earthquake, a 30-ft tsunami, 4 unstable nuclear plants!
The Japanese have been hit hard, but one has to applaud their resolve. Waiting patiently in long lines for food, water, etc. 140,000+ people orderly evacuating a 30 km radius! Not screaming in the streets, killing each other, looting and demanding that the government "gives" them something that's owed to them. Compare that to what we saw on TV during Katrina :-( What has happened to our country?
And no, I am not putting all the blame on the people, it also has to do with "how" governments treat their citizens, but now matter how I look at it, I come away with nothing but respect for the Japanese, and bitterness knowing that's now how we would respond (or have responded) to similar calamities.
I hope all of us take a page from their book!!
