I was in Haiti many years ago back when "Papa Doc" was still alive. I assume it hasn't improved much since then.
You have to see Haiti first hand to believe it. The poverty level is indescribable.

Well, when you worship voodooism and Satanism, this is bound to happen.

Waiting for the Barack supporters to hold up his .7% GDP giveaway to the U.N. as a justification and cure-all for all things like this now.

Ahem. A couple of lines from Bill Cosby, talking about his father:

The man ate dirt until he was 30 years old. That's all there was, was dirt.

I’m sure we’ll be sending a few billion over there too. Africa gets 30 billion for “aids research”, why not throw some more at this hellhole?

STOP F-—ING.

Haiti is an island. If I were hungry, I’d go down to the sea and fetch some fresh food.

Dirt to make 100 cookies now costs $5, the cookie makers say.

Five bucks for a bucket of tasty dirt..........

An American black guy I met last year described his stopover on an inter-island flight in Port-Au-Prince.

He said the people looked at him like he was food. He said he saw nothing in there eyes....just dull, animal like desperation.

He was clearly shaken. This was a guy who worked for a major U.S. company and who was obviously well off.

Having been raised on white oppression grievance politics, and maybe even being the beneficiary of it, he was having a hard time coming to grips with a black ruled country that clearly has no one else to blame but itself.

The other Carribbean islands that are still French departments are nowhere near this bad. In fact, some, like Martinique, are positively well off.

But then, they aren't ruled by primitives reverting to jungle tribalism.

Perpetual victims — just like the New Orleans Superdome crown, only more resourceful.

Poor Haitians Resort to Eating Dirt

Still much safer than consuming "food" imported from China.

[television is just wrong]

P.S. we have people in our own nation starving as well.

[Brilliant]

I would suggest use a condumn.

Re: Poor Haitians Resort to Eating Dirt

Hun? How can that be?

Didn't Bill Clinton early in his presidency... use that loathed American military to invade Haiti and set up a Clintonista Liberal Paradise that would outlast the White Man's evil democracy in America?

[BunkDetector]

Geez, when I saw this thread I was horrified, feeling sympathy and empathy for these poor, desperate fellow human beings. Eating dirt?!
But, after reading these postings in response I now see the humorous side of it. It’s really pretty funny!
Thanks guys. I feel much better.

Don’t worry help is on the way with Barak and Al sharpton in the lead and our tax dollars in tow!
