Haiti reportedly is and has been hell on earth 24/7 and no one in the west takes the slightest notice, including the western media. Now all of a sudden there is an earthquake and Diane, katy, Brian and Anderson find themselves on the streets of Port Au Prince weeping and wining about the terrible tragedy of it all. Such hypocrisy is truly disgusting. It's just the latest "baby in the well", a ratings bonanza, or so they think. Me, I couldn't care less about Haiti, not a week ago and not today.
Hayti has always been an absolute hell-hole, ever since they murdered all the French who colonized the country in the late 1700s-early 1800s. Before that it was known, alternately, as the jewel of the Caribbean and the breadbasket of the Caribbean.

Unfortunately, like Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, Hayti's people have been the victims of oppressive, sadistic, materialistic rulers who care only for themselves.

Look at the palace their president lived in, while all the people were starving and poor. The same exact thing can be said about Robert Mugabe and Rhodesia (Zimbabwe.)

This seems to be a pattern that repeats itself, over and over in certain countries once they forcibly remove the Europeans who originally ran them (Hayti was the first; then it was the Belgian Congo, then Rhodesia, then South Africa.) There may be others that slip my mind at the moment.

As for Hayti: these people will always be starving. They will always be desperately poor. Throwing tons of aid at them will do nothing but insure that there will be thousands, if not millions more of them next year, who will also be starving. Those who rush to send aid fail to understand this.

I learned this lesson while feeding stray dogs and cats. If you keep feeding them and don't get them spayed and neutered, all you are doing is insuring that they will be well-fed and healthy enough to reproduce, thereby exacerbating the problem.

What Hayti and other impoverished countries need more than food is contraceptive supplies. Maybe Planned Parenthood can help out? As long as they continue to be impoverished and continue to reproduce out of control, the problem will never end.
