I was a military brat, born on Okinawa of parents who were both born and raised in Hawaii. Many of my childhood and family friends are/were of Japanese or Okinawan descent (Okinawa is an island that's been heavily exploited for decades by the US and Japan for various strategic purposes).
At 7:55 AM on December 7, 1941, my teenage mother was walking home from Sunday School on the island of Oahu where she lived with her brother and sister. (The rest of her family lived on the big island of Hawaii.) Sunday School had dismissed the kids early without explaining why. As Mom walked, she heard fireworks in the distance. Later she learned that Pearl Harbor had been bombed.
I'm a retired software engineer.
I'm a stage 3 cancer survivor.
In my ignorance, I spent my life contributing to the demise of the planet. Before I die, I'm making my amends to the innocent Earthlings who just wanted to live their lives and raise their children in peace and good health and who will now suffer from any number of calamities and mental and physical illnesses as the planet continues its insidious slide into the sixth mass extinction of all life.
Fukushima is the Extinction Level Event that broke the environmental camel's back. The fact that the ELE severity of Fukushima has been suppressed for the past 7 1/2 years by corporate greed and power means there's no hope of going back to a world with a future.
Hi, by the way. I'm Millie.
