@SuperZac8 Having class isn't about having money or belonging to the Elite class. Having class is about behaving accordingly, speak properly & intelligently, know how to act in public which is respectfully, know "le savoire faire"! Enjoy & appreciate the finest things in life such as art, literature, classical music, observe cultural & traditional ways of one society with elegance. The current elite class in Haiti belongs to the merchant class such as the Syrians. They have no class!

@gilgabe66 That's fascinating, I've heard a few etiquette things but I didn't even know it was so detailed. Next time my parents drink wine I am going to look at what kind of glass they use.

I am not calling anyone here any names but there should always be people at the realm who can teach the new arrivals in politics the do's & don'ts of Protocol.First one needs to make sure the mass knows how to behave cause in Haiti they still behave like WILD ANIMALS by jumping around & shouting & screaming. Haitians when protesting tend to turn it into a celebration, they break tree branches, singing, dancing, jumping & cussing. The mass in Haiti hasn't been quite civilized yet!

@SuperZac8 I come from a political family, way back in the 40's before the Duvaliers. Also one can learn these things, there are books available about Protocol & Etiquette. Obviously in Haiti nowadays these things don't matter but could you imagine the stares one would get if one makes a FAUX PAS as an Ambassador of Haiti in another country? It is the whole country they would look down. It is that kinda "Laissez Faire" in Haiti that cause the country to be run by just any idiots!

[MrJccmc3]

was wyclef there to inaugurate and smoke a blunt with him?

[SuperZac8]

@gilgabe66 Where do you learn all that stuff?

[gilgabe66]

Maybe I am too anal about PROTOCOL but when one is having a formal toasting one does it with CHAMPAGNE. Also, I have noticed that both red & white wines are served in the same sort of wine glasses & in this case "A RED WINE GLASS". So many FAUX PAS! Since Duvalier left Haiti. its first leaders have been mostly people with no class, no political experiences, no knowledge of PROTOCOL & SAVOIR FAIRE. I sincerely hope after the Palace is rebuilt those who will occupy it get to be LEADERS WITH CLASS!
