On Haiti
ON HAITI: Thoughts, Memories, Links.
I’VE TOUCHED ON THE SUBJECT in a couple small ways lately. I don’t have much more than that to say now…except to remember out loud that when I lived in Miami Beach for a few years—a place that brought me great happiness as an adolescent aged boy—Haitian gente were as common as Cubanos, just part of the everyday. No doubt, the island of Quisqueya (Hispaniola) cannot be further from Florida than where I happen to live now.
And then I think of how much I miss Florida….
How will Haiti and Haitians come out of this? Will the big players in the First World take their revenge and remove any vestiges of independence from the only nation to rise from a successful revolution of slaves? Shock Doctrine in hyperdrive? I don’t know. But we can learn a lot about our world just by watching—and truly seeing—Haiti, I think.
Here is a video featuring the voice of Telesur and Narco News Authentic School of Journalism reporter Reed Lindsay that gives a small street level glimpse of Port-au-Prince, Haiti:
And here is some more reporting by Narco News vatos:
• Nobody is Coordinating the Aid
(Haití: “Nadie esta coordinado la ayuda”)
• Video Footage of Immediate Aftermath of Earthquake in Port au Prince, Haiti
Hope you and your family are well. And warm.

Sup. Just would like to place a quick comment and enquire exactly where you received your particular website template I am establishing own wordpress blog and tremendously really like your particular model.
I created this skin myself and built it on top of a dark gray WP template made for video gaming, called “Imperial.”
