There was an explosion at one of the nuclear power plants last night. So far it seems this explosion didn't damage the fuel rods. It's bad, but it isn't a disaster at least.
It starts. All over Twitter there are twits going on about how this is some sort of cosmic revenge for Pearl Harbor. Two things there. Fire bombing culminating in two nuclear city explosions isn't enough revenge? Secondly, do they really think the majority of the population, who wasn't even alive during WW2, should be held responsible for anything during that war in any way? Do people really believe that crimes are "generation" and that someone can inherit the guilt of their parents? How about being a human being here?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
