The situation in Haiti is sad...always has been corrupt and misguided. It has been a black hole for USA aid money. However, can’t the 50% unemployed get jobs cleaning up their broken, crummy, degenerate country?

It is a crisis of culture ~ a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on vices while refusing to take care of one’s self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. A culture that thinks “I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me”.
