230,000+ dead in Haiti... I guess most of them would trade that for property damage any day. And if Haiti's property were actually WORTH anything on the world market, Japan's problems might seem more to scale, as well.

Thing I'm most worried for the Japanese is those nuclear reactors... You can rebuild a town, but not if the ground is glowing!

BTW, I could not believe the glibness of the CNN female announcer as we watched live footage of fleeing cars being swept away. What kind of people ARE they in cable news? Whatever happened to "oh, the humanity!"?

I was disgusted.


Diki ... I think it comes down to something that I have talked about quite a bit on this forum : the lack of RESPECT for anyONE or anyTHING ...
I turned on NBC tonight ... I didn't recognize the commentators - one female, one male, but he pointed to a spot on their monitors showing the flooding and he said "watch this - he gets hit right here" ... and she made some off hand remark ... I turned off the tv ...

True, and in addition, because Japan has so heavily relied on nuclear power, their need now for oil will surge, meaning even more world competition for foreign oil of which will certainly drive oil prices even higher for everyone. Will this also bring back the moratorium on building nuclear plants?

124, your "Dirty Laundry" comment is, sadly, "dead on" today.


How sad!
