Japanese products- radiation worries

[3DStudent]

Thanks for the reminder, Aya. A few radioactive items pales in comparison to seeing one's family and homeland suffer. I didn't mean to ignore the human aspect of all of this. But like others said, your sharing of your experience is helpful. Take care.

Thank you. After reading your posts, I was able to bring back some positive thoughts in my mind again. I think all of us here are extremely lucky that we are still able to do what I need to do and to experience happy moments in daily lives, not to mention that we have each other to share in this network!

All the disasters have/had happened now and in the past, there is no comparison but they are/were all tragic. The fact that we are trying to do something about this is very precious. I experience emotional ups and downs frequently; when I feel sad, I get extremely sad, but when I feel happy, I sometime feel I am one of the happiest people on the planet.

As I sit out here in a safe place I am quite uncomfortable that with all that has happened in Japan people around me are ignorant and blind to the horror that is unfolding. I can't remember exactly who or where I saw a reply on SOTT that this, (and I am paraphrasing now), that this is the slowest connecting of the dots ever.

As a child watching all the cold war, black and white, b-rated sci-fi movies of an Earth devastated by nuclear effects, deep inside I have felt impending doom. After the 1st nuclear blasts, the continuing experimentation, test blasts underground and explosions up in the sky... That other species of humanoid, those with no soul, running this show for personal gain and satisfaction. Poisoning the Earth, Water and Air... I am at a loss for words of how I feel...

Aya, I am so sorry... Sorry for my comfortable, safe life here...
