Where exactly do millions of people on an overpopulated island?
The media asked the same thing after Katrina in New Orleans.
It is not like the masses are free to move around, at will, is this fancy new world.
Peace

Well, let's see.... A major earthquake that registered an 8.9, moving the entire coast of Japan about 13 feet and causing extremely devastating damage. A major Tsunami that wreaked even more havoc on the country killing even more and doing even more damage.... major risk of severe nuclear fallout.... Whole industries destroyed. Their economy down the toilet.... The fact that it could take decades and decades to fully recover ( if they can ever do so).......
Yeah.... I would say it is a safe bet that they are traumatized.... And yeah, leaving? You think that would really solve their problems? I wouldn't leave either.edit on 24-3-2011 by gimme_some_truth because: (no reason given)

One foreigner, a fluent Japanese speaker at a large Japanese company, said that his Japanese manager and colleagues were "furious" with him for moving to Osaka for three days last week and that he felt he was going to have to be very careful to avoid being ostracized upon returning to work in Tokyo.
"There is a split between [the Japanese and foreigners] on where their allegiances lie. In Japan, the company and family are almost one and the same, whereas foreigners place family first and company second," said Mark Pink, the founder of financial recruitment firm TopMoneyJobs.com, based in Tokyo.
And the years rolled slowly past,
And I found myself alone,
Surrounded bv strangers I thought were my friends,
I found myself further and further from my home...
