I am up here in LT for a few months (the DRs most fragile border, if you ask me) and do not have regular access to internet but logged on once to read one thread where there were some postings on the border crossing at Dajabon now costing $40 one way for Americans..
There appearred to be a lot of bitching and moaning and some snide comments about
helping out in hell
and cracks about
"their" orphans..
to which I would only say that
if you have no understanding or respect for
the IMMENSE
cultural and historic place which Haiti holds in the hemisphere and in the world
and have not read even .... say...
a very small percentage...
say a mere 400 or 500 pages...
of the material available in ENGLISH ..
then...
well..
stay the hell out of there.
Were it not for Haiti having supported Simon Bolivar... well, who knows?
Haiti... only 15 years younger than the United States
Second oldest republic in the Western Hemisphere
First Black Republic in the World
You have no business in a country whose culture and people and history you have no respect for.
You have business interfering
There really are no orphans in Haiti
We are all related
It is a very sad testimony that it is Americans who are now subject to this border toll.
But with out wretched Evangelicals who go about preaching that Haiti was dedicated to Satan
And out Catholic Univerisities from CT who send down priests who diddled the little boys....
and all those truely stupid NGO workers...
well...
GOOD FOR THEM!!!!!!!!
