I guess a lot of people can't bear the thought of such suffering and death for no reason. It may console people to think that disaster befell them because of a moral imperative. I know it's silly, but, given the magnitude of what's happened to Japan (and a Japanese volcano erupted today!), I don't begrudge them for saying "God is punishing us," rather than "shit happens." The latter is the truth, but it seems to strip the afflicted of any dignity. Tokyo's governor is a smart politician.

The first prominent nutcase Ive found claiming that the earthquake and tsunami were part of some grand plan is not some pseudo-Christian American, as I had expected, but Ishihara Shintaro, the nutcase governor of Tokyo Prefecture. Hes made some outrageous statements before (hes nearly a match for Palin or Bachman), but today he announced that the disaster was Heavens Punishment for selfish egoism. The tsunami would wash away the selfishness of the Japanese people.
石原慎太郎・東京都知事は１４日、東日本大震災に関して、「日本人のアイデンティティーは我欲。この津波 をうまく利用して我欲を１回洗い落とす必要がある。やっぱり天罰だと思う」と述べた。都内で報道陣に、大震 災への国民の対応について感想を問われて答えた。
発言の中で石原知事は「アメリカのアイデンティティーは自由。フランスは自由と博愛と平等。日本はそんな ものはない。我欲だよ。物欲、金銭欲」と指摘した上で、「我欲に縛られて政治もポピュリズムでやっている。 それを（津波で）一気に押し流す必要がある。積年たまった日本人の心のあかを」と話した。一方で「被災者の 方々はかわいそうですよ」とも述べた。

Yes, but an ENEMA won't cure him of being full of shit.
Like Yodanell, I fear that he has caught his Roadrunner...

Same time of day?
Same exposures?
Same color filters?
Or like the weight loss ads made with convex and concave mirrors.

The same could be said for the governor of Wisconsin.

You forgot, Same buildings, same roads, same piers, same factories, same landscape,
Moi, take your filters, time of day and exposures and shove them.
And I hope the next nuclear plant they build is next door to you.

You're right. It's not Judgment Day yes, but it is prophesied events leading up to it.

sag, I am with you on Japan, it breaks my heart and seeing those pictures that Slammr linked us to brought me to tiers.
But of all the countries in the world Japan is the only one that was prepared for this, or as prepared as one can be.
Jesus, other then world vision and the red cross, who would you recommend to send money to, to help.
