read most of them, spoken to him a couple of times. interesting fellow
Haiti and the Dominican Republic have roughly equal populations, but the DR’s gross domestic product is about 8 times that of Haiti. Some Dominicans have African ancestry (that is obvious with people like Sammy Sosa) although I think they try to ascribe their non-white ancestry as much as possible to the indigenous people (whose ancestors were there in 1492). I have read that they have a negative attitude toward Haiti (partly because of having been under Haitian rule in the past) but don’t have any first-hand knowledge of that.
Yeah, definitely agree with all of that.

Astrology... lol.
