Don't forget that Jimmy Carter went to Haiti to supervise the elections so they wouldn't be corrupted. That country is a very sad story. I have a family and home next door in the Dominican Republic. Although I don't always agree with what goes on in the DR, it is truly a lot more civilized. I've been all over the country and, as probably the whitest guy on the planet, I've never had any problems. Haiti is a very sad situation and my heart goes out to its people. I've met some Haitians here in the U.S. and I find them to be very fine people.

I live in Port St. Lucie here in Florida. The next city north is Fort Pierce a small city that has the largest population of Haitians in the U.S.
Like most all of the islanders they have the don't worry be happy no hurry attitude that tends to irritate a go getter but they are good and honest and are generally just happy to be here. Many work the fruit or sugar cane harvest and generally jobs that I just wouldn't do.
