If Japan cannot handle it alone, then an international team needs to be assembled to confront this disaster. Ignoring a big problem like this nuclear disaster only results in a bigger, ever more wicked problem to overcome. My generation is simply not stepping up to the challenges before us. The consequences of our failures appear incalculable and profound with regard to the prospects for future human well being and environmental health. The very last thing a responsible person is to do in such circumstances is consciously and deliberately choose to remain silent, I believe. Are we not participants in and witnesses to yet another colossal failure of nerve? When are the leaders going to speak out in an intellectually honest way and act with a sense of moral courage? How terrible are things going to have to become on Earth before TPTB begin to talk about and do the right things, according to the lights and best available knowledge they possess?<br /><br />Steven Earl SalmonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
