A few years before Katrina I was in New Orleans, looking at a business opportunity ... didn’t stay the night.
It’s sad people let themselves be done that way ... herded onto plantations.
But as the German people found out, silence is what causes it.

Good reason he left out New Orleans, New Orleans has food.

Problem is they need a competent dictator or leadership that thinks that a few scraps should be tossed to the people. problem is—the leaders just look at Haiti as a cash cow and rip off as much as they can. Even communism or fascism would be an improvement.

Haiti was founded by African slaves who rebelled against their French overlords. They've had a grim time make a success of being a country.

"Familiar smells of drainage and burning rubbish hit me as I made my way to the Hotel Oloffson, a gingerbread mansion disguised as the Hotel Trianon in Graham Greenes novel The Comedians."
Whoa! That brought back memories. The Oloffson. I can't believe it's stood this long. My father stayed there in the 1940s. I myself spent many an anxious night there in the Jeffrey Holder bungalow, hunkered down the darkness, listening to the staccato of automatic weapons, the screams of the dying, and the pounding of voodoo drums. If memory serves, it began as a U.S. Marine Corps hospital in the 1930s, and was later purchased by this crazy couple from Denmark (the Olaffsons), who bought it and turned it into a hotel. It could have been the setting for a great Alfred Hitchcock or Night of the Living Dead movie.
