What's very odd to me is my group of friends who live in Japan acting like nothing bad is happening. I'm all for looking to the bright side. However, I can't even get an honest dialogue going with what's going on over there. One friend enjoys doing things like posting pics of Hanami on his Facebook account, and he acts like nothing happened. It seems like people there (my friends anyway) are in some sort zombie state that doesn't allow them to tell it like it is.

You said 11,000 dead and 16,000 missing on 3/31/11. Is that correct???
