Monster Quake and Tsunami in Pacific

[Tango]

The heartbreak in all of this is endless. You survive the earthquake, and manage to avoid getting swept away by the tsumami- then there is the danger of radiation due to the nuclear powerplant damage- there's no place to live, there's no food, no safe water, sanitation is destroyed- you look around at all the destruction, and meanwhile, bodies that you can't even recognize are washing up on shore. We haven't seen anything like this in our time. To read that the earth shifted it's axis and the country of Japan actually moved as the result of the upheaval is shocking. Their ability to make a living has been largely destroyed. And have we even forgotten Haaiti and Indonesia? How about Katrina here in the US. And Muammar Gaddafi is shooting and bombing people that oppose his rule? People in various countries are being sold as slaves. It really is an insane world we live in. The news is unbearable, isn't it? How much worse to live it. A lot of people are trying to pretend all of this horror isn't going on, largely because there isn't an easy "fix." But I think it's in the little things that we survive. Being kind to one another, looking out for one another, doing what you can to be ready for the miserable times, etc. It's trite but just being nice to each other is sometimes the saving grace in a society.
