“This”, meaning Haiti, has been really really ugly for 2 freakin’ centuries.
If it wasn’t an earthquake, it would have been another hurricane. Or a mudslide. Or an infestation of flies and frogs. Or a volcanic eruption. Anything would do, but now we have another full blown Haitian crisis to distract everyone from what’s going on behind closed doors in DC.
I heard one report on the radio today that estimated the deaths at 500,000; even though you cannot even make a long distance call to the island on a good day, and there is no reliable information coming out of the country. The guy making that report sounded excited at the prospects of so many deaths.
I’ll go out on a very firm limb here and say that I don’t believe there are anywhere near as many deaths as are being predicted (and nearly wished for) in the mainstream media.
There is no doubt that the situation in Haiti is sickening, but it has been that way for well over 200 years and isn’t likely to change any time soon. Brian Williams and his rich white NBC friends are live from Haiti tonight, and they really need to be careful that they don’t wander into the wrong neighborhood tonight, because they are likely to end up with a flaming tire around their necks. That’s how they do business in Port au Prince on a regular basis...

Flies and frogs? Hilarious! ;-) But you're right. These guys practically live in the Stone Age. That's because Big Brother just loves them! Which is the biggest disaster of all!
Someone needs to give these people small government and "hands-off" capitalism NOW!
Yes - I’m well aware of the history - including the 20 years (1915 - 1935) were the US Marines basically ran the country
By getting ugly - I meant an outbreak of massive looting - shooting - killing in which 1000s more die (inc. US citizens)
Praying that will not be the case
