This was a 7.1 earthquake, as opposed to the 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti.

Are we going to send billions of dollars in aid to New Zealand? Are the Zealanders living in tents next to their unburied dead? Are they waiting for the world to save them?

No. Because, unlike Haiti, the Zealanders built proper houses. Also, the New Zealanders have a certain level of self-reliance and learned competence.

There’s a lesson there somewhere.

I recently talked with someone who works in Haiti with a non-profit. He said the Haitian “salute” is an outstretched hand. Does anyone have the total amount of “aid & assistance” given to the moronic Haitians over the past century? Truly a “black hole” for funds and effort.

I’d live there, but for the fact they suck up to the commonwealth..... and they are too much like Canada.... gov takes care of everything.
(Except to stop the priests from raping little Indian boys)
Sad, but true.
