Copied from EG24:
"Thanks, PuzzledinCA, it's heartening to know at least the television companies think people still care. And thank you for the walkthrough with clear explanantions for people who haven't perhaps followed the complete Minoto Ugly Duckling series. =D"
Thank you for taking the trouble to mention that. I never watch television, so it seems to me that everyone has fogotten.
I know disaster training probably figures higher in japanese education than, say england, where I live, but take for example policemen. All the training in the world never truly prepares one for the first dead body - sometimes a child.
I think the scale of the combined disasters in japan in such a short space of time [earthquakes, tsunami and power plant/s failure] must have been greater than even the trainers had experienced in living memory.
What I'm suggesting is that they can't possibly have been completely emotionally prepared for what happened, or the aftermath.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki [affecting smaller areas, possibly] would be the closest?
I'm not preoccupied with basking in the misery of others' misfortune, I just can't tolerate bullying, which the comments on Ugly Duckling 6 sort of amount to.
Kicking a man when he's down? It just seemed he could do with some back-up, so I got up on my soap box =D
Natural disasters fascinate me; my greatest dream is to go on a storm-chasing tour, and my favourite english experience was driving through a skinny tornado one summer night [yes, we DO get them]. My car window was open, and I only realised what it was when I got smacked in the head by very fast sand and a load of other stuff. =D
Apart from sand-blasting my face, I don't think anything or anyone was hurt by it.
The reason I spouted off on EG24 was because it seems so unfair to be firing so many complaints at Minoto's recent [FREE] games without seeming to consider that even if he hasn't lost everything, he probably knows someone who has.
Minoto is bound to be affected. His life will never be the same.

- Mother of four [started young], grandmother of seven [nine soon], happily single; mostly, these days, doing voluntary work - with wildlife. I'm taller than only a handful of people, including my mother, with low B.M.I. I like creating artistically [most media]; computers; machines [especially power tools that help me create things faster]; and I hate waste. There's only one thing that really annoys me, therefore I'm easily pleased. =)
