Shake, Rattle & Roll

 
Once again, Japan is being rocked and not in a musical way.  Everytime
I hear or read about an earthquake over there it takes me back, oh so many years, to my stay in Tokyo.
 
For those of you who have never experienced an earthquake, yes - the ground moves under your feet. You can be knocked down by it, I was tossed out of my bed one time onto the floor. What a way to wake up!
So I can understand what the people are feeling over there.
 
I received an email from Aikiko saying how scared she was and the little ones were too.  She had not experienced an earthquake for many years because of living here in Florida.  It makes it doubly hard to think that they are in harm's way due to our  governments stupidity.
 
If any of you are not familiar with her story please look back at my postings and you will see her whole story, it's very sad.  The more people who know about it, the better...maybe something can be done at ground roots level.  Government is supposed to be by the people for the people...not that we are under a dictatorship of rules and regulations that make no sense.  Our laws, our rules are a living, breathing entity in themselves...meant to be fluid for a reason. So they can be changed, if needed, by the people - for the people. 
 
So if you read her story and feel compassionate, please do forward the link page to others so that her story can be told. Maybe we can embarass the ones making these rules if enough of their stupidity is shown to the rest of the world.
