It might be me, having heard the "grave" measured voices of the BBC, London, for my first 23 years, pick up on the delivery of Canadian and American news people. Of course, that old fashioned BBC, grave and carefully intoned voices are all gone now.
What I hear is the controlled, yet vibrant with excitement, of what Rush Limbaugh calls the "info babes". Just me in my very latter years maybe, but I am bolstered by the saying "If it bleeds, it leads".
Back to the post itself. Just not something to be lightly scanned and when I have my morning coffee, I will try to understand the diagrams and get some idea of what those brave people in Japan face.
Let us hope for all of the human race, things will subside and the movers and doers can get to work. The work of reconstruction.
That is what I am hoping for, too.
Strange.
There seems to be another force at work in people...almost as if there is some kind of macabre fascination with seeing just how bad it can get. Almost as if they are rooting for it to get worse. Additionally, I see there are people who want to see the worst, so it will justify their panic.
This is a strange weathervane for human behavior in a crisis.
