The Polite and Noble and Exemplary Japanese

 We have heard MANY stories about how impressive the Japanese people have been over the last week. People admire both their fortitude and their attitude. They have dealt with heinous vicissitudes with calm, poise and amazing pluckiness.

 I do find it interesting that people are now comparing the Japanese of Today to the response of the people of Haiti and New Orleans went they went through their serious crisis The Haitians and New Orleans citizens are compare negatively due to looting.The sour comparison seems to be good people who know how to behave no matter what as opposed to how these "notgood" and " not noble" people conducted themselves!

 I think that conditions of extreme poverty, poor construction of homes and  a destroyed infrastructure and no confidence that assistance was going to come soon enough and sufficiently enough are some of the reasons for the looting and civil disturbances that people are castigated for participating in.
