Japan's Meltdown......

[judy]

I think that certainly can't hurt Diana. I am not at all sure if it removes radiation from the water. It will remove lots of other impurities though.

I am so saddened by what happened in Japan. I am usually an optimist, but looking at the global picture right now, with rebellion in the mid-east, all kinds of weather and nature related disasters, the fact that our government may close down this week, poverty in so many places, and a loss of values in general, I feel like it is the end of the world as we know it.

I wrote a story about this in my writers' workshop. If I can figure out a way to share it, I will.

I would love to read that, Judy. I feel the same way. I think, and hope, we just have to get through messes like this to get to something better. There is unrest in the middle east, but so far the dictators have been stepping down and the people are gaining freedom after years of oppression. I do not oppose nuclear power, but after the disaster in Japan I hope there will be better designs, better security measures, ways to make sure this doesn't happen again. I think everything that is happening now might make people think more about how we really are a global community and what happens on the other side of the world does effect everyone over the whole earth. I hope what comes out of all of this is something better.

I would love to read it too Judy....please find a way to post it. I feel bad for Japan and the people too. What a horrible thing to go through and as you.....I feel the time is coming to an end also. It's weird.....ever since I was little....about 5th or 6th grade....I always had a feeling it would come or very close to it in my lifetime.

I'd love to read your story too, Judy!! I hope you can find a way to post it.

I do have a water filtration system on a separate spigot on the sink but I'm not sure what it filters out. Maybe we should just buy a better filter to use. The water in the refrigerator is filtered by this as well as having it's own filter on it......so it's actually filtered twice.

I'm not super worried about this......but radiation is a worry...not just for me but my family. It just seems like the whole world is just crumbling around us......but the Bible tells that that will happen.

Another earthquake hit Japan today. It's a 7.4 this time, but much closer to the coast. There's another tsunami warning

I saw that on the news. They canceled the tsumani warning but it took out a lot of electricity for people. Those poor people.....they are dealing with so much.

Not sure what can be done except to pray for them. It really does break my heart to see the people of Japan on the news and all their suffering.
