You can't seriously be trying to put a positive spin on 30,000 people dying and hundreds of thousands being displaced, can you?

I could, but was not. You must have missed the pun in there. If I knew what you claim to be happening, I would have not made the "shake things up" joke. It sounds much worse than I expected or had heard. Truly this is terrible.

Current stats are 15,000 confirmed dead and 15,000 "missing" (but after over a month, we can safely count these as dead and never to be found - swept out to sea or buried deep in the rubble). 300,000 people are essentially refugees, 45,000 buildings completely destroyed and another ~150,000 damaged, even now many shelters struggle to feed and treat the evacuees, electricity blackouts are daily and of course the nuclear power plant in Fukushima is not under control yet.
Even if this disaster prompted the entire planet to give up cars and take up bikes, it still wouldn't be an even trade.
