Haiti

Haiti is a true three-ring circus of torture, rape, murder, name-calling and anesthetic free amputations. And nobody thought to invite me. There is an awful lot of information posted about Haiti’s condition on various human right groups. There are quite serious, shrill, in the things that are being and have been done there. Still, not much has come of it. No matter how much money is funneled into it from various rich countries, it never improves. After all, it’s only human rights.

It must be terribly frustrating for these groups to keep fighting a battle that cannot, in fact, be won. PETA seems to get much better results. These poor souls have done their research, published their results detailing rapes, electrodes and cattle prods. Listing the results of natural disasters in details. Detailing the results of long term hunger, poor water supply and unsanitary living conditions. Naming inhuman monsters who continue to wreak havoc on the islands. Yet more people boycott restaurants for mistreating chickens then care about the long term maintenance of Haiti. It’s a wonderful free-for-all where there are actually no good guys. Everyone out there helping is doing it for political reasons or to improve their standing with their gods. The awesomely basic and inhumane medical care the islanders are receiving is apparently so awful that it leaves people nostalgic for cattle prods in the rectum.

Alas, I believe it is the Haitians problem to solve whatever is ailing them. There would be a lot less bodies piled up from the recent disaster and the longer term starvation and poor living conditions if they stopped having kids and/or educated themselves enough to find work and a life off the islands. And don't waste your breathe telling me that they can't help it, it's a third world country blah blah blah because I know damn well they know where babies come from.
