Ultimately, the key to developing poor countries is, as I said, through encouraging them to remove corrupt leaders, improve government and business practices, enhance education, and improve farming and the climate for basic needs. In the case of Haiti, the cause of the destruction wasn't entirely a 7.0 earthquake. It was the lack of building codes, corrupt builders, and a poor infrastructure. A 7.3 earthquake hit Landers California in 1992. Two died from heart attacks. 

And I got to ask this on a personal note, Zucas, when was the last time you:

• Worked at a soup kitchen
• Helped at a homeless shelter
• Donated to the Salvation Army
• Worked at a food pantry or food bank
• Taught a financial management class to low-income people
• Donated to a clothing shelter

Just curious.

This post reminds me of why I have so much respect for you. I too donate time/money to charity, however not to the same extent as you.
