What kind of naive statement is this? Who would expect deaths at this time? Anyone with any sense is well aware that the fallout is a silent and drawn out killer. The illnesses and deaths will be coming in the next 5-20+ years with the effects remaining forever in Japan and abroad.

Do you think we will ever be able to grow safe produce (rice, tea, vegetables, meats, fish) in the northern half of this country again? In fact, the contamination is spreading because our criminal government is intent on burning the waste in all prefectures. This will destroy our nation completely and our people need to stand up and do something before it is too late. The recent ~60,000 person protest is a small start, something more dramatic must be done to effect change ASAP.

I cannot understand how you can fail to see the immense damage that has happened to our nation. I am depressed, anxious, despondent and angry beyond words. This is really like a bad dream from a science fiction movie and I want to wake up to return to our beautiful Japan with decent, honest and hardworking people. Please!!
