Haiti should be a total non-subject for America


Stark honesty sometimes sounds callous

HAITI REBUILDS MORE CRAPPY STRUCTURES TO FALL DOWN IN NEXT EARTHQUAKE

.........but it ain't necessarily so. In fact, if anything, people should be overjoyed at such a bluntly truthful headline as the above, and throw a rock at their TV set over the pettifogging and pussyfooting it imports. ameriKa is fueled by racial delirium tremens, but truthtelling exists in the field. Here's an article that leaves nobody and nothing undevastated:

Haiti Must Not be Re-Built

It appears that Mr. Kurtagic would agree with my thesis that the West is highly domesticated, but won't qualify as civilized till it grows up and starts living by common sense.

Mush-headed ameriKans have their notions and whims of iron; the recipients of our berserk behavior, whether merciful or malevolent, are rarely heard from -- it's as if they who have the alleged problems don't exist, only we we we WEEEE wonderful YANKEES do! They are the objects of our missionary or "terrible swift sword" altruism; we have spoken about what they need, so there's no need for them to talk. But in this article the Haitian president gets a few words in sideways, and they agree with so-called cynics like me -- not the do-gooders that eternally swoop into countries like Haiti to "save" them:

After a devastating earthquake hit Haiti in 2010, governments and foundations from around the world more than $9 billion to help get the country back on its feet.
Only a fraction of the money ever made it. And Haiti’s President Michel Martelly says the funds aren’t “showing results.”
Roughly 350,000 people still live. Many others simply moved back to the same shoddily built structures that proved so deadly during the disaster.
Martelly says the relief effort is uncoordinated and projects hatched from good intentions have undermined his government. “We don’t just want the money to come to Haiti. Stop sending money,” he tells Shots. “Let’s fix it,” he says, referring to the international relief system. “Let’s fix it.”

Thus it's not only Haiti that's perennially broken but the "system" that purports to love and heal it. Is Martelly really telling the first world "Thanks but no thanks"?
