No proper/coordinated food, water deliveries yet (as you agree) in comparison there was frenzied milling to protect shareholders. I didn’t get any news about the government’s extraordinary effort to help and reassure people that their properties would be restored. Are you saying the media just didn’t bother to report it and the international aid is just customary?Momentary Madnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05314884356743431845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-65170994837886751062011-03-29T02:59:27.801+11:002011-03-29T02:59:27.801+11:00Brilliant point about the financial aid but not th...Brilliant point about the financial aid but not the humanitarian aid...expat@largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250623536121293636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-45390420913634239462011-03-29T01:42:33.969+11:002011-03-29T01:42:33.969+11:00I use a little orange juice they climb in and can’...I use a little orange juice they climb in and can’t get out- a horrible death I never quite get over but I can’t find port of entry and I have tried- it gets ridiculous here in summer watching marching lines around the skirting- harmless little bastards but annoying and not nice when visitors come; they don’t even have the cop on to stay hidden. The poor auld Japanese were (always their own worst enemy) the butt of jokes when I was a kid, mostly forgotten. The robotic nation and indeed they have had the last laugh (3rd most powerful nation in the world) up till now. I think we are missing (little media reporting) the point of the Japanese disaster: over 400 billion dollars pumped into banking/markets to get them back on their feet while the people (to a greater or lesser degree) affected depend on outside help to scrape - what little they can – to build back a living.
