Fukushima Frustrations

Among evacuees.  The psychology behind by this statement is interesting:

" "Many residents feel that they have been forced to evacuate because of a man-made disaster, not a natural calamity," says Kanno. "Before, when bad weather or other problems occurred, everyone was on the same boat -- so people had the will to help each other. In the case of a natural disaster, people know that even if there are difficulties at the beginning, they can eventually start all over again even from scratch. However, when one is fighting against radiation pollution, starting a new life three, or even five years later is not easy. That is one of the characteristics of (the invisible damage caused by) radiation."
