>>> here is an item we hope will restore your faith in human kind . the national police agency in japan says the japanese people have found and returned $48 million in cash following the quake and the tsunami in japan. if true and we believe it to be its evidence of a startlingly honest society. the money's been inside safes or inside wallets and in some cases it was found as bundles of cash. a lot of fishing villages were destroyed. the fishing industry is largely a cash business. police say 85% of the money has been returned to its rightful owners.
