We'll,if I was the head of the U.N.,I'd send some U.N. troops in and tell those people to eat more.

They need to stop having children.

It’s that simple.

And you want to know why? The UN and various humanitarian agencies keep sending food there, and what does it do?

It puts Haitian farmers out of business, who can compete with free food?

Send doctors there, and what does it do? It puts Haitian doctors out of business, who can compete with free doctors?

I guess we are not sending enough $$$$ to pay off the politicians and bureaucrats while leaving enough to buy rice for the peasants. I’m not really there is an amount that that high . . . I’ll have to consult with Baby Doc and get back with you.

Why is it that the other half of the same island (Dominican Republic) doesn’t go hungry ?

Why is it that the Dominicans can actually farm enough to feed their families ?

Maybe because they actually farm instead of sitting around waiting for others to feed them .

Maybe because instead of stripping the land bare they actually plant stuff back into the ground .... what a concept

People should not be going hungry on a warm tropical island that is surrounded by waters teaming with fish . People should not be going hungry on an island that has weather nice enough to farm year round .Oh but that would actually take some work and it would actually take electing leaders that don’t get rich keeping you down .

Part II: Save NGO Sec. from Itself (and Haiti from the NGOs)

The problem of NGO credibility is especially onerous in Haiti. Sometimes called the “Republic of NGOs” (United States Institute of Peace 2008), with the single exception of India, Haiti is said to have more NGOs and charities per capita than any country on the planet (Clinton 2009).

...

Indeed, the entire issue of how many NGOs are in Haiti highlights the confusion over what NGOs are really up to and the lack of accountability. Bill Clinton (2009), for example, cited the World Bank for a figure of 10,000 NGOs in Haiti. At about the same time, Jean-Max Bellerive, Haitian Minister of Planning, reported that that only 400 NGO’s are registered with the government but estimated that there are as many as 3,000; CIIR (2004) claims there are from 10-20,0000.[iii]

If there are more than a hundred countries around the world with serious endemic poverty and hunger, why single out Haiti for such a report, and such a scare-headline??

Who benefits from Haiti being seen as an emergency case?

. . . The Clintons and all the other aid foundations that rushed to use the Haiti earthquake to amass fortunes and accomplish exactly nothing meaningful?

Haiti is always starving. Has been as long as I can remember. But Haiti is a good place to learn a lesson, it is a Nation that turned its back on God and sold its soul.

Famine... happens.

The Haitian government needs to pass a law that people need to eat more and enforce it.

How do you have a food shortage on a tropical island? It’s unnatural. Hungry? Go catch a fish, or trap a lobster, or shimmy up a tree and get some fruit. Problem solved, next order of business.

No, we should just send in yet another boat load of money for the plutocrats to steal.

When I receive the post-paid envelopes with their requests for $25, $100, or whatever I can give, I give them a list of people like Bloomberg, Clinton, Bush, Gates, Buffett, Soros, Gore, Obama, etc. that would be pleased and excited to give millions to their cause to ease their conciouses and guilt.

obammy has made me callous.
He’s made so many problems here in the U.S. I really don’t give a damn what is happening in Haiti or nearly anywhere else.
