remember that earthquake?

no one seems to. you know, that one that completely wrecked Japan? who then had that nuclear meltdown?

ohhhhh thats right...now that i mention it you do.

ridiculous.

you know, when i was like in 6th or 7th grade, and a hurricane destroyed Haiti, everyone was like, oh man! quick! everyone send them soap!!! (im sure they sent more stuff, but i specifically remember soap for some reason...) and then when katrina hit new orleans, there were people like crying in the streets (this could be a slight exaggeration), and our church is sending people on mission trips like weekly.

then, japan gets hit by an record-setting earthquake, which caused a tsunami, which created a whirlpool, and then they have a nuclear meltdown (the worst one since that one that fried russia) and nothing.

i mean, sure it was mentioned a few times the day it was happening, although i mainly remember people asking me about hawaii (because the tsunami was heading towards there) and whether my family was going to evacuate (but lets be real here people, where are they going to go??) but altogether i was surprised on the amount of apathy everyone seems to have towards this (and im the one always betting on the dark side of human nature)

and yeah, ill be real, i pretty much only care cause im half japanese and am directly affected by rising rice prices, but really.
