I really like the work our govt has done in Haiti. Yes, that is a sarcastic comment.

Sometime ago I posted a comment about my standing next to a food line in the hinterland of the central plateau of Haiti, and the Haitian that was working with me looking disgustedly at the people in line to receive their tins of US-marked rice and oil and etc. He told me that thanks to this "help", the people of the area no longer bothered to even try and grow food. Why should they? The US was gonna give it to them if they would just stand in the line. And now the area had over two years since people had attempted to grow food there, and he was wondering how much longer a timeline would be necessary until people simply forgot how, until the logistics system for supporting crops was no longer in existence, etc. He commented a whole lot more, but that was the central point.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of our CA programs. Maybe they are fucked from the onset due to politicians changing the mission. Maybe the CA people that have dedicated their lives to this field should be left to decide how to implement programs. Maybe the whole concept is fucked and has no merit. I dunno. I just know that I could give a shit less about sending money to Haiti to help them rebuild....

I've been saying the same things about the welfare system in the US for years.

The irony is, the US is often times responsible for helping keep 3rd world countries impoverished. Then we act like we're "Big Brother" when we send Red Cross to help after a natural disaster.

I'd hate us too, and take as many free handouts as I could get.

Why is that our concern in the first place? MANY countries live below the poverty line. So we are fucked up as a people because we help other nations when we can and most definitely during a time of crisis... but not all the time? Well shit, by that logic we are devils! Theres tribes in the rain forests that don't have electricity! Why arnt we helping them! Fucking Americans! What about all the starving kids in Africa? Why havent we adopted ALL of them and fed them!? WE ARNT DOING ENOUGH!!!!



Seriously. It sucks that this natural disaster has taken so many lives. At the end of the day, "thats life." Soon there will be another tsunami, another earthquake, another Flava of Love rerun, another tornado, or another hurricane that will kill more people. And we will be there again, I'm sure, distributing aid, enhancing our image in the eyes of our haters and GIVING GIVING GIVING... while people at home (like you) still complain that we arnt doing enough. When, oddly enough, we are not OBLIGATED to do anything in the first place.

I think we are GREAT people.

another Flava of Love rerun
