Priorities

So everyone knows about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Even the penguins in Antarctica know about it, I mean come on.
Anyway I watched the news for a hop, skip, and a jump yesterday because I don't usually watch it and the anchors were talking about how the earthquake spread waves across the ocean and there were 6-8 foot waves hitting part of the coast of California. The waves were causing damage to harbors and boats. Was anyone dying? No. But the boats! How. Tragic. A woman was being interviewed and she was unnecessarily emotional, saying how scary it was and she just can't even talk about it right now! People were standing on docks trying to make sure their boats weren't destroyed! It was awful, nothing compared to the cities being FLATTENED in Japan and the 8.8 earthquake that caused the cooling system of a nuclear power plant to break which could result in a meltdown and the release of radiation. Some boats and docks being damaged is more frightening than a whole passenger train disappearing under the tsunami. It really deserves news coverage, because these people don't live on harbors in California and probably aren't rich enough to buy another boat or make repairs to their damaged one.
Gosh. How awful is that.
