Johnakay, The devastation in those links is amazing and horrible at the same time. I was at a supercross race two weekends ago just after it happened and one of the riders (James Stewart) rode out on the track holding a huge Japanese flag. The audience's response was mixed. Some people including me stood up and clapped while many others wouldn't. I immediately thought of my grandpa who fought the Japanese in WWII and how he probably would have killed the rider if he'd been there to see it. I just don't understand how so many people there were angered by it and couldn't show their support for a country that has experienced such a disaster. Then everyone sat down and watched their favorite racer ride his Japanese bike.
