Too true, if it's not bad enough that people have lost there homes and families, there's the risk of the nuclear power stations going up.
Makes me grateful I live where I do.

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.

The dignity of the people is what impresses me.

They calmly stand in line for hours to get their 2 litres of water with the destruction all around them.

I cried when watching one man go from shelter to shelter and politely asking if anybody has seen his family.

You could see the despair increase with each negative but he was still polite.

Oh, and the news from the nuclear reactors is even worse this morning! This disaster could just go on and on for Japan. It's terrifying how a few hours can change life so much - from peace and relative prosperity to chaos and sorrow.
Some mistakes are too much fun
to only make once.
