I've noticed this as well. In addition to the absence of looting
reports, is footage of citizens immediately working to rebuild, and an
absence of blame being cast. CNN must be at a loss for how to cover this
story with such a well composed population. Perhaps it gives them more
time to write headline copy like: "US warships headed for Japan"

Yet the one thing that has impressed me through all of this, and maybe
others here have noticed it too, but its not what is happening but
what isn't. With all the supply issues of the basic necessities of
life such as food and water, I haven't heard of a single report of
looting.
In most major cities food doesn't need to be in short supply to start
a looting binge. In many places all that's needed is for the power to
go out.

My best hopes for our neighbours in Japan, and any PF'ers who may
be caught up in this sad event
