What's your thoughts on lack of panic in Japan from Earthquake disaster?

[Tizona]

This is a really good point.

I live in the Midwest and I know a few dudes who think the radiation is here and gonna get us (and i'm sure, somehow is the us government's fault) So they are freaking out!

yet the people ACTUALLY in harms way seem to be taking things with quite dignity and hard work.

I'm sure a lot has to due specifically with the Japanese culture of dignity before emotion and their strong culture of community that we, unfortuantly, really lack.
