Great you don’t know the story but you have an opinion
When nukes have been around as long as oil rigging and coalining, you can talk about your point
The Japanese haven’t destroyed their image. This is what they do, how they handle things
A bunch of men got together and said, lets do this its safe safe safe safe safe
And it now is as predicted by some unheard in heeded voices who are now haunting them, leaking radioactivity into

I don’t know what the Japanese are doing, but it is sure ruining their image.
