If You Rebuild It, They Will Come (Haiti)

I do not know if what I’m about to write makes me a monster. I do know that it makes me a part of a miniscule minority, if Internet trends and news stories of the past weeks are any guide.

I haven’t donated a cent to the Haitian relief effort. And I probably will not.

I haven’t donated to the Haitian relief effort for the same reason that I don’t give money to homeless men on the street. Based on past experiences, I don’t think the guy with the sign that reads “Need You’re Help” is going to do anything constructive with the dollar I might give him. If I use history as my guide, I don’t think the people of Haiti will do much with my money either.

In this belief I am, evidently, alone. It seems that everyone has jumped on the “Save Haiti” bandwagon. To question the impulse to donate, then, will probably be viewed as analogous with rooting for Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, or the Spice Girls.

My wariness has much to do with the fact that the sympathy deployed to Haiti has been done so unconditionally. Very few have said, written, or even intimated the slightest admonishment of Haiti, the country, for putting itself into a position where so many would be killed by an earthquake.

I can’t help but wonder why questions have not been raised in the face of this outpouring of support. Questions like this one:

Shouldn’t much of the responsibility for the disaster lie with the victims of that disaster?

You are dreaming if you think Haiti will be built back up... there was nothing there to to begin with. Only 40% had clean H2o....there were 10,000 Yes, ten thousand help groups in Haiti BEFORE the earthquake...

There were 300,000 orphans before the earthquake because the woman use orphanages as incubaters for their kids..just hand them over til the next one. The orphanages get money based on the number of children, as does the Government (outside funds to assist) to give to the orphanages. Thus the cash flow moves thru the country...to the wrong people. Not the children they get what ever is left after the thugs take it.

Same with food and other means sent to this country. It’s a cycle to keep the Gov. in power and the money flowing thru the system of a “welfare” country. Exactly as we see in Africa after centries of “helping” them. Or our own lifelong welfare recepiants.it’s a business of who gets the money and flow of.

Least we forget Haitai is a major port for the transfer of drugs..that’s why Chavaz is having a kissy fit..HA! Ha! his supply run was cut by an earthquake. Too many soldiers and such mulling around to get them in or out. Haiti’s Government at the top for drug involvement and those in office entire.

The view to have of Haiti is just as you would the african nations we’ve tried to help. They don’t want to change the way things are...as this fellows post states.

By the way “PaPa” who they want back..is one evil man.

The only ones who have any hope for a better life are the children who have been brought out of Haiti...that’s it.

Sounds heartless but this fellow who posted is right, and confirms all the others who are in the know and have said the same. MSM will continue to paint a dome and gloom picture because that sells stories and the money continues to flow..

BTW How many Haitians did you see on film and video assisting in clean up and how many did you see standing around? Even now they wait for someone else to do the work.
Ihear da group of rescurers who travel worldwide to help in natural disasters say other countries people are out there right along side of us helping...”I didn’t see that there”....
