Ok, call me selfish, call me other even worse names if you like.
Fact is still fact. Indisputable facts.
Fact 1: When you borrow money from anyone, including banks, do you pay interests on the loan?
Yes or No?
If you pay interests on the loan, if everybody pays interests on the money they borrow, why should Haiti be exempted from paying the interests?
Fact 2: Are there, or are there not many looters in Haiti?
Be truthful here.
Fact 3: Was there as much looting in Japan, after their very devastating quake, 15 years ago?
Yes or No?
Fact 4: Was there as much looting in China, after their very very devastating quake, 3 years ago?
Yes or No?
Fact 5: Are Haitian human beings?
Yes or No?
Fact 6: Are Japanese and Chinese human beings?
Yes or No?
Now tell me, if Haitians are human beings, just like the Japanese and the Chinese, why then the Japanese and Chinese didn't go looting up every store in town, like what the Haitians have done, in the past 2 weeks?
Chinese are human beings.
Japanese are human beings.
Haitians are also human beings.
All are classified as Homo Sapien Sapien.
If it is human tendency to loot, we would have seen massive looting in China as well as in Japan. But we did not.
Why then it happen in Haiti?
Care to explain that?
And about Aristide ...
Was he the ONLY guy in the whole world the United States government threw out of office?
Again, be truthful, ok?
Of course, not.
The United States government have had done the same thing to many many countries. From indonesia to Nicaragua to Chile to Panama to Haiti, and now the United States is trying to do the same in Venezuela.
I am not saying that the United States is right to do so. No, it isn't.
But that still doesn't give any Haitian any excuse to NOT help himself.
If the Indonesians, the Chileans, the Panamanians, and the Venezuelans can rebuild their country, after what Uncle Sam has done to them, why can't Haitians?
Or are the Haitians so special that we need to give them special rights to be fed free food forever?
What have they done to earn that "special rights"?
Wouldn't it be wonderful if people from other countries --- let's say, from Zambia or from Bangladesh or from Vietnam or from Poland --- also having that "special rights".
Then they do not have to do anything. Uncle Sam will go feed them, no question ask.
Wouldn't that be swell?
Call me anything you want. Anything !
But it still doesn't make the situation any better.
Haiti is still a garbage dump due to the fact that the Haitians just do not want to help themselves.
