I read your whole post. My comment was limited to the part which I quoted. Unlike you, I don't find the subject of this thread boring at all, in fact I find it very disturbing.
I also find it somewhat disturbing that I actually agree with you on the theory that the flight from Haiti by many who have managed achieved middle class status elsewhere in the World is a major contributing factor to the decay of Haiti's social order. Unlike you however I don't blame "these types" for their decisions because after working very hard toward establishing themselves in jobs and communities which offer decent living conditions for themselves and their families, and developmental opportunities for their children as well as a constant revenue source through remittances for their less fortunate family members back home I can understand their reluctance to risk the fruits of their labors on an uncertain and very risky future should they decide to return to their homeland.
That would be a decision that expatriated Haitians would have to make on a case by case basis and I, for one respect their decisions. I feel the exact same empathy for expatriated Dominicans, Serbs, Phillipinos, Salvadorans and every other displaced member of any ethnicity or nationality who has had to make the gut wrenching decisions involved in choosing between their homeland, friends and families and success, even you, Chip.
