slanshroom- no worries... reading over my original post a second time I realize that I didn't make my point very well.
This isn't really a good place for a non-musical debate, either!

Joe rocks in more ways than one! Thank's for your help and concern!
I hear ya Roy san and Do The Stu, it is really getting hyper in the news, and the contrast between the "I am almighty Anderson Cooper" and the low key, noble Japanese reports are like night and day..just goes to show you the difference in our societies....
It has been a remarkable week of suffering and hope, despair and anxiety for the Japanese people, but they are holding the fort down with their graceful demeanor and wonderful kindness..we can learn a lot from them, and I have. I pray they can get the nuke plant under control, and the heroic actions that are going on to stabilize it are beyond comprehension. Let's all hope and pray this comes to a miracle ending....
Zen san, good on the group, and Godspeed....
michelle, how awesome of Marty..he is one class act, and he was just here in oki earlier this month. And that video was from the Japanese Coast Guard..my God, really gives you a sense of the destruction that was coming!!
Btw, wolf2 is one dedicated mofo..I await the day he finally explains that it was all a long running 10 year joke on T2J, lmao!
Here's to a positive attitude everyone and take a moment to cherish what you have..keep the Japanese people in your thoughts, and all the people around the world that may be suffering....

Ovation 1:I heard that Mikey san, hope this nightmare comes to a close, we,ve had nuclear scientists truth talk live tv here and while the truth is scary its better the government be forthcoming with information than keep people in the dark.I believe the authoritys are paranoid people will run from their posts and too be honest i dont blame em a mass exodus from Japan would not be in the countrys better interests.Fingers toes crossed Mike they regain control of the situation, thinking of ya all across the pond
Turbo:Its the perfect place to debate, i,ve learnt an enormous amount of non music related information on this forum through the years and met some seriously switched on peeps t boot, Cube for example is a walking gear library

Just read an excerpt from Sammy's book. I guess it was the first chapter and also Mike's prologue. It's as good a page turner as Decision Points. Definitely think I'll be headed out to buy it today.
BTW, There are a couple of reasons that the US is always out taking the lead for every crisis on the planet. One reason is that we've been doing it for over a half century. It's just become an expectation that something happens and the US is out there to clean it up. There is a HUGE humanitarian reason also. There could be over 10k people die before this is all said and done, and that's if the nuclear reactors don't melt down and leak out of the containment areas. But the biggest reason we're over in Japan ready to do anything and everything is the economic reason. Someone else in the forum already mentioned it. Japan is the 3rd largest economy in the world. The entire global economy is depending on Japan not imploding economically. Hell, we've already shut down GM plants in the US due to the lack of parts coming from Japan. We are extremely dependent on the Japanese. At least no one will use the old water cooler argument on this one...."we're there to take over the oil!!" Bwaaahahahaha. I cringe everytime I hear someone say that. It's astonishing people haven't educated themselves better at this point. But that's another post............
I also think we should stop with all the relief effort to Africa. There are MANY prosperous countries in Africa. We need to stop sending food, water and medicine to Africa. We need to go move all the people out of those regions and into the prosperous countries. There's nothing we can do for the desert villages. EVER. Nothing can grow there and there's no water!! Get those poor people out of there, educate them and that will be the end of the African relief.

I am proud to report that one Transparent Red JS100 has found its proper home and is currently resting peacefully!!
The previous owner was a big fan of Joe, but not a fan-atic, as I had to bring him up to speed about the release of BSAWW and the JS2400. I could have talked for days, but didn't want to overdo it.. As a little "thank you" for throwing in the hardshell case, I left a Bonus Track edition of BSAWW on his front porch on my way out. Nice little surprise for him the next time he leaves!
This guitar is far more beautiful than the pics made it out to be; it honestly looks like it has been in the case since 2001.

Economic reasons are always a large part of the issue... China owns a ridiculous amount of U.S debt, and a similar case with Japan. It's very much in a lot of peoples interest shit doesn't get fucked over there for many reasons.
You can't just ship a billion people (almost 1/7 of the planets population) from a place that's almost 3 times the size of the U.S!
shizzle.

No doubt about that. If China decided to cash in its chips today, the United States would no longer exist the way we know it.
Quite honestly though, we might be 10 to 20 years away from the entire earth hitting reset on the economic structure. Hell, the US social security will be 34 trillion dollars underfunded within 10 years! Let's not kid ourselves, there's no chance to ever bring that back to balance. Ever. And that's just one of our own issues. Bring the rest of the world economy into play and it's pretty clear to see that a massive reset is going to be required. The only real question.....does the whole planet join together under one currency?

But you can't leave them there either. No matter what they will never prosper. Strangely enough, it's going to be easier to ship a billion people out of north africa than it will be to find a way to make them prosperous right where they sit. That whole thing is a tragic mess.
