| SaviorX said: I actually visited Haiti a few years ago for 3 weeks. If you guys could just understand how bad it was BEFORE the quake, you'd realize how truly devastating it is now. The country was already recovering from previous natural disasters; where I was staying, buildings were being rebuilt and streets repaved. Thousands of people roamed the capital in the dead of night; some sleeping outside. The one thing that stuck out in my mind was that the place has SO MUCH potential. If there was a sense of government anywhere near is structured as the greater powers of the world, it would be a great place. I haven't been able to find contact with anyone over there I tried to call....Haiti is suffering enough, this kills. Electricity was taken away at random before. Things are all gone now.......... |
Sadly, Haiti has one of the most corrupt, anti-business governments in the Western hemisphere. If they worked on it, I agree - they could become a major carribian nation.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
