I'll fucking go if it means saving millions of people. I shit you not. WTF?

This was just breaking news on Greta's show. Personally, I think this is all going to work out just fine. You couldn't ask for smarter and braver people than the Japanese. I wish them well.

Well, I do to. That's what I don't understand. Don't the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Their sacrifice could theoretically mean the difference between life and death for tens of millions of innocents.

So true. And what I had heard on the news this a.m. before leaving for work is that they had briefly evacuated but had either gone back in or were planning to go back in soon. All I know is it floors me the bravery of those 50 or so workers who know 100% full well they could die at any moment and are doing everything they know how and everything in their power to try and save everyone else in their country, even if it means losing their own lives.

One guy is 59 and a half and 6 months from retirement, but he went back in. The "honor code" in Japan is just amazing.

Yes definitely. Just amazing people really, and my parents, my brother and I all had a great time living there when my father was stationed there when I was in high school.

I was reading today too that they could possibly even use boric acid to stop nuclear fission, that is amazing.

All those Godzilla movies back in the day where he was a monster born from nuclear detonations and now, half a century later a real nuclear threat finally emerges that is proving just as difficult to overcome.
