A) Right off the starting line...COUNT 'em, on your own little "pinkie" finger, the number of riots and lootings that DID occur or even get mentioned as possibly happening in JAPAN during the past few horrendous, tragic days of their earthquakes and tsunami....?
B) Well....? NOT a SINGLE riot...NOT a SINGLE case of looting. Think back, during just the past couple of months in our America, about only just Wisconsin's capital scene....? Who trashed the Capitol there? What happened in Egypt? In Haiti? What happened in Colorado? What happened in New Orleans during their hurricane a few years back?
C) I DID hear and read, time after time, of fellow Japanese people HELPING each other, and visitors, all around them, even offering to share precious little food and water! I heard of not one looting incident in Japan...not one rampage across the countryside.
D) Now...what does this tell you, us, about the rest of the world's countries (societies), especially including our America?
E) Oh, the Japanese, as a country and culture, are mobilizing for a "common" national goal, not as individuals! The Japanese culture..."We're all in the tragedy together!!"
F) This guy, I admit, is the first to express my need to be an individual, BUT, again, in a national tragedy, coming together for the "common good" is far superior and so needed....that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
G) I admit, though, that we are discovering more and more about the Japanese "government" (different from the Japanese people) and their lack of veracity surrounding the latest meltdown of one or more nuclear plants....they, by the way, will affect their neighbors and our entire WORLD!
H)...more.....
