I cannot even imagine what these people have gone thru and what they are about to undertake. And we complain about the cost of our food and gas right now. Kinda puts things in perspective a little hey? My prayers go out to the people of Japan

They say Japan prepared aggressively for earthquakes and other natural disasters. I wonder, did it help? Was anything saved because of their preparations? Or was the earthquake and resulting tsunami just too big?
One newspaper said rebuilding Japan can result in them having a very strong economy. I hope so. It's one thing to hope for. But it doesn't make up for the cost of all those lives, and all the survivors have lost.
