Japan
It’s been a little bit, huh. Well, I’ll admit it, I was unable to handle my schoolwork, so I had to take a little break this blag and all seven of you amazing readers. But now I’m back. With that, I will talk about the news at hand.
I have been absent from civilization for the last couple of days, so I don’t have all the updated info for the crisis in Japan. (I refuse to actually look up things while writing for fear of regurgitating opinions.) I do know that the death toll was in the hundred thousands last time I checked. It is obvious that the earthquake and tsunami in Japan are horrid and tragic. Entire cities were swept away and a cruise ship was completely lost. I urge everyone to help as much as you can, and I hope for the best news from Japan.
However, I am sort of glad it happened in Japan and not in another country. I say this, not for any hatred towards Japan, but because Japan is only country that could handle such a disaster. Japan is responding extremely well. The volunteer forces are helping the survivors with search and rescue efforts, and the country is even mitigating the damage from the power plant meltdowns. I think we should take note of the tragedy in Japan and prepare our countries in response. With the globally changing climates, the weather is changing drastically, and becoming more extreme with every incident, we should all be ready for these tragedies. Just this year, it snowed like a blizzard in my sunny corner of Southern California, which is usually blisteringly hot. I think we need to take heed of the possibility of events like the one in Japan, and create competent programs that are prepared for emergencies.
Also, I will only be posting twice a week from now on. Sorry, but it should improve the quality of my posts.
That’s all I have to say today. I’ll see you later this week.
