“if people can not help them selves...”
I think in a time of catastrophe it’s only human to help your fellow man. But, for the long term the money we’re pouring into Haiti won’t help. The only thing that will get them out of their hole is a cultural change. Without a drastic change in values their status won’t change - in fact more help will only sink them further into their miseries.
There are many leading blacks in Africa that detest the help from the west because they realize it’s a drug.
We need to “teach them how to fish.”
If you do a favor for someone they thank you if you do it a second time they give it to you ..
