I support helping Haiti only with the guarantee the Haitians stay in Haiti because I thing rape,murder,robbery and devastation are a bad thing. I think we have enough affirmative action people already here.

Haiti NEEDS to increase its import tarrifs on rice from America in order to help local farmers. The focus of the infrastructure development should be in the agricultural sector. The primary function of a country is assuring the security and the health of its citizens. Economic development should be a secondary priority.

There will never be peace in this world, until the resourses of the world are shared... Once We do learn to share, We will find Ourselves more valuable, than any dollar amount could bring. This is the lesson of the comming age. The tools of yesterday, will not work today.
