I don't see how it is obscene. It makes sense to think about things you can do something about. I am sure in Japan they are also thinking about improving their defenses against Tsunamis right now. Where I live, Tsunamis really aren't a problem, but we do have nuclear power plants. We also have air that can be contaminated.
I actually feel sorry about the deaths and devastation in Japan, but I have no illusions that my feelings will do anything at all to help over there.
Btw., who knows how many people are currently dying in Libya. People are dying all over the place, all the time, unfortunately. I am just saying, maybe it would have been best if I hadn't even switched on the news, and concentrated on things that I CAN do something about.
