haiti

Haiti is in my mind right now.

I know that when there is a flood or a monsoon in Bangladesh or an earthquake in China more people are displaced, more die and maybe there is more destruction.

But Haiti is not half a world away, it is not too farm from our south corner. A good friend of mine who has been a aid worker, spent a hunk of time in Haiti during another disaster. In Haiti he even had his appendix removed while there! In a MASH hospital yet.

I read analysis of why Haiti is what it is, and all are partly right and partly wrong, I suspect. What I know is that that poor country gets hit again and again by all sorts of natural calamities.

The “natural” calamities are increased by man caused evils.

There is no end. I am saddened.
