I sent condolences the whole weekend to my friends in Japan. Everyone's family is hit somehow....what a sad tragedy. Regardless it will be interesting to see how this changes modern Japan's attitude towards Mother Earth.
....no roaming bands of prior beaten down minorities seeking to exploit the situation in riot and chaos... this speaks volumes too about the culture and dignity of the Japanese people when compared to other nations whose people when faced with similar situations behaved quite differently...don't want to point on anyone ;)
