Huge Respect
Japanese seniors volunteer for Fukushima 'suicide corps' - CNN.com
"We have to work instead of them," says Yamada, referring to the estimated 1,000 workers currently at the nuclear plant. "Elders have less sensitivity to radiation. Therefore, we have to work." "Kazuko Sasaki, 69, the co-founder of the group, says she has a number of personal reasons why she wants to work at the plant. "My generation, the old generation, promoted the nuclear plants. If we don't take responsibility, who will?"

"Taking responsibility"
Our nation could learn a few things from the Japanese. Also note how little looting took place after the disaster.

If this were facebook, I would click "like".
That is quite a selfless act. I like the logic as well, "we promoted the nuclear plants, we will clean the mess".

Huge respect. Our society is an utter embarassment when compared to things like this...

So, you're saying that you didn't see that same kind of dignity displayed in New Orleans following Katrina?

That's a novel idea to help your country at their age. Why not, it makes sense to me...............
