74. I think the sad truth
is that I think that certain parts of Japanese culture favor saving face to telling the truth. I'm sure there are some elements who would rather try to brush these things under the rug than to admit that they were caught with their pants down, totally unprepared for a disaster of this magnitude (when in reality, who could possibly prepare for something like this?).

Maybe I'm wrong, that's just kind of been my take on it. Anyone else want to weigh in on this?
