Hats Off to the Japanese People

I continue to be amazed by the graceful and dignified reaction and behavior of the Japanese people in the face of the horrific tragedy that has engulfed them. It may be true that their government has not responded efficiently, but the people remain stoic and do what they have to do. There has been no violence, no rioting, no looting and no demanding this or that.

Then there are the heroic workers who go into the Fukushima reactors knowing full well they are probably condemning themselves to an early death by trying to stop the radiation.

I have always admired the Japanese people (and Japanese-Americans, for that matter.) They continue to provide a lesson for the rest of us. May God be with them.
