    Oh shit. That’s fucking crazy, half the population is in need of aid now. That is going to turn into a very bad situation…

      My friend, Haiti has not been in anything resembling a good situation for quite some time now. It’s just especially worse right now.

          Hundreds of years later, they still have to do penance for having the temerity to not just revolt against the slave masters but to win. White Europeans have been making an example of them ever since.

          The history of the Americas is a pretty sad story. Not humanity at its best.

            Agreed. Between the Americans shunning the second republican government in the Western Hemisphere and UK and France (one supposedly the ideal liberal democracy in a time of monarchs, the other a freshly born republic themselves) you are absolutely right.
