Is it just me, or are the Japanese handling this catastrophe infinitely better than we would be? In fact, I would argue that we reacted more insanely to the NON-threat of their radiation melting our faces than they did to the whole situation!
I kid you not, my friend who works at a silicon valley tech firm (so you'd imagine educated people working there) said her female coworker MOVED to Boston for three months to live with family for fear of exposing her toddler to Japan's radiation. I mean, people living IN the city with nuclear reactors haven't even left and this chick is fleeing California?? Americans are idiots.
