And just remember there is a reason that entire island was pretty much
unpopulated when Columbus got there....

I wouldn't call 250,000 "unpopulated."

Now, Mirjam we are not always right. Just look at the way Dianne
apologized to JIm Cripwell...who endorsed what I said., She called me a
liar. No apology to me either.

Some people are ..................no I bite my tongue. LOL Oh well,
stupid people are stll around, Lord help us they vote!! They do not
read all that is out there. The information Jim C had posted, I have
also read . My husband is a "news junky" I don't think that is a correct
word. He sends me the links, and I read about 50% f them (I have to
have time to clean and stitch).I really think he wants to know all the
facts.

It is a shame that the infrastructure in Haiti is so bad. It is good
that more planes can land. Even better is that the USSComfort, a
floating hospital, is off-shore with the choppers flying back and forth,\

I heard what I heard but I gather I am a liar, oh well. I hope we
have a good trip to hell, seems to me Dawne was put in the same
handbasket too sometime ago lol

We have people there too but I am not getting into a ****ing match on
what we are doing. I was happy to hear that individuals have
contributed $34 million to date to the Red Cross, more will have gone
to other concerns, that's just the Red Cross and the gubermint have
said they will double contributions so there is $68 million, that's
in addition to all the other stuff the gubermint is doing.

Like yours, our ships are off shore because there are no docks,
possibly dredging needs to be done too. Jaqmel where one ship is
moored is apparently the ancestral home of our current Gov. General.


I read today that some of our "dredging" ships are on the way to clear
out the harbour.

I also read that the Dominican republic is using their fields for landing.

We can castigate any country for not doing more...but if the
infrastructure is bad, that has to be fixed first.

However many stars are in my crown, I would rather be in the handbasket with
my friends than lonely in heaven!!

The outpouring of individual donations is worldwide; governments can be
slowmoving things, but individuals give what they can. I would bet there
were few places of worship that did not take up collections for Haiti over
the weekend. There are signs in many businesses that they are collecting
for the Red Cross. The company I work for will match donations we make, and
the government will match those. And I think this must be going on around
the world. Only $120 buys a kit of tarpaulins, ropes, roofing nails,
roofing tin and basic tools so that people can repair a home enough to have
some shelter.

There was an article in our local newspaper today on how many rumours and
false stories are out there about Haiti, including on Twitter, Facebook and
being spread by email. It is hardly surprising that there is erroneous
information, and that some of it get picked up by newsmedia. It is chaotic
down there.
