Japan ironically blames everyone while decrying the tendency to blame everyone.

So we all know how the Fukushima disaster came about right? Cost-cutting, sloppy, negligent management. Well, that isn't the whole story you see. You see, as the report indicates:

"What must be admitted -- very painfully -- is that this was a disaster 'Made in Japan

Huh. First time I heard of anyone invoking Oriental Despotism in this fashion. Japan's current bunch of leaders fail at failing.

A butterfly flaps its wings and, on the other side of the Earth, a nuclear meltdown ensues. James G. Watt advocates the extermination all butterflies.

It looks like the Japanese are taking this opportunity for self-flagellation. Who says they have learned nothing from Catholicism? Let's call it the Opus Dei Effect.

I would hardly say the Japanese aren't used to funny ideas about nuclear radiation.

I guess everything is ok now that we're talking about this crap?

The crap working conditions at Apple subcontractors are the responsbility of the kids who buy iPhones!

Well, the best chance to improve the working conditions for the folks making iPhones comes from the kids who buy them.

Funny, I thought Fukushima was due to a horrendous act of nature. Silly me. I forgot that New Orleans getting flooded was the fault of the Corps of Engineers, and the eruption that buried Pompeii was the fault of the Roman Empire. Disasters are always the fault of a person, organization or government.

Fukushima was caused by longstanding safety issues in the Japanese energy business. If they'd followed the actual rules and dealt with rather than cover up problems there wouldn't have been a disaster.

If a volcano erupted in the middle of Manhattan island, we would find someone at fault.
