Re: How did I miss this thread?
As a new person here, you must have missed a lot of posting history. Why are you singling me out? Julio Cesar Vasquez Guzman, aka JC, has put down the Dominicans, their government, businesses, their common behavior, foreigners, and people who post on this board, more than I ever could or would. That's right, the very person who speaks out against that kind of talk and declares that only Dominicans have the right to talk about the Dominican Republic.
I make fun of everybody - Americans, Canadians, Europeans, various posts, and myself. Nobody is spared. Lighten up.

You can drink at any age as long as you are careful enough not to spilled all over your pampers. I think that DR1 posted that 18 was the minimun age by law. Yeah right!

It wasn't lost. It was stolen. That is my beloved Dominican Republic. "Still crazy after all these years".

If you know what I know, you will know that when the specter of crime start to sink its teeth in tourists and foreigners residing in a particular locale, it is because the native population has already been victimized by the very same perpetrators.
Political correctness asides...

I have no intentions of arguing on behalf of Tom because between you [DR1] and him I don't know whom is the lesser of two evils.
I don't believe your pathetic joke of respecting those services.
You will do great by starting to respect the truth. Until such moment, I laugh at your self-agrandizing gesture of calling yourself a journalist. An advertising (or public relations)copy-writer would be more suitable.
Re: Haitians in DR?

Let's review this idiocy of a post by Ms Susanne:
>>>Not too long ago - probably about a month - Reuters had a very interesting article on Haitians in the Dominican Republic, especially in the sugar plantations, and the hardships they endured there,>>>
Oh my, oh my, Madame Susanne. Who are you or any Reuters correspondent to decide who has legal papers or who hasn't? You should abstain of giving opinion in matters that you know nothing about.
>>>Earlier discussions here and on another board suggests that this question is highly controversial as some Dominicans seem to feel threatened by the presence of Haitians.>>>
You are a piece of work. That is for sure. The stupidity of foreigners like you meandering in the internal affairs of a nation to which you contribute nothing more than the occasional "all inclusive" trip. Get down from your ego inflated pedestal and stop telling the DR people how to run their lives.
Go there, get in line for your buffets, get a suntan and go back to your country where you have a right to put a finger in every single pie on the table.
The DR doesn't need it and doesn't want it. In fact they may arrest you and deport you for that (injerencia en asuntos internos de la naci?n)
>>>I too have heard the number between 500.000 and 700.000 Haitians mentioned. Regards, Susanne >>>
Another proof that you and your kind can't be taken seriously.
Best regards,
JCesar

Dear Rainbow Turtle Woman:
I am proudly responsible for the incoming deportation of almost 10 of them (with include a couple with a newborn and a single mother with 3 adolescent girls). Now, you can cry on my shoulders if that make you feel better.

According to a news update that I just got over the Net from CDN News Network (Cadena de Noticias), the field crews that work for the national electric utility (Corporaci?n Dominicana de Electricidad) are not alone on their "humanitarian" endeavors of raising money (for their own pockets).
They have company, at plenty.
The crew workers for the Water and Sewage Authorithy (Corporaci?n Dominicana de Acueductos y Alcantarillados) plus the cleaning crews deployed by the Municipal Authorities of the city of Santo Domingo(Ayuntamiento del Distrito Nacional) are also demanding cash on hand in order to render their services of restoring water supply and cleaning streets.
These are public servants serving their own greedy self-interests in spite of a national state of emergency.
...Welcome to the jungle!
That ugly other face of the news...

From the DR1 daily news:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Electrical service in the DR has been much restored at a faster pace than in Puerto Rico, that was also affected by the hurricane and where there are more financial resources.>>>>>>>
Yes! In Puerto Rico, you don?t have to pay anybody under the table to get the service restored.
Public Corruption Update! (Corporaci?n Dominicana de Electricidad)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>they rob and pillage all they can the time they are there, and the next guy that comes along does the same>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I remember growing up and observing shameless public corruption during the twelve years of president Balaguer (Partido Reformista). However, when the PRD finally made it to power they engaged in the same corruption as to the government that they so fiercely opposed to (some of my friends in the DR go as far as saying that even more). Nonetheless, the habit is so ingrained in the dominican society at large that it seems that regardless of who is in power the status quo will prevail.
If that is the way that dominicans want it, then so be!
Public Corruption Update! (Corporaci?n Dominicana de Electricidad)
JC -- Friday, 2 October 1998, at 1:32 a.m.
It was reported yesterday that some of the crews assigned to reestablish electrical service to residential areas in the City of Santo Domingo were demanding "cash under the table" from the residents in order to hook up the service back on.
Refusal to this "fund raising efforts" meant: stay in the dark!
The Chief of the national electric utility (Corporaci?n Dominicana de Electricidad) denied that such a rip off was going on. If something like that would take place in a developed nation, under such state of emergency, those corrupt crew workers would be spending some time in "dark" places themselves.

I used to be a journalist for their public relations department.
I was fired [from Codetel] back in 1989.

Hector: You?ve missed the first name (Jos?). The complete tittle is: Aeropuerto Internacional de las Am?ricas Dr. Jos? Francisco Pe?a G?mez. That kind of shows how much brain power the DR has on its elected officials.

For the record, the Dominican Republic is a beautiful place, not only for their beaches and natural resources, but the people, both foreign and native. I am the biggest promoter and walking advertisement for this country you will ever meet and I get, nor ask for, anything in return and really don't care if a few don't want my support. 95% of the people that read this message board already have formed their opinions about the DR, usually from a personal experience, and nothing that is posted here is going to change that. Many of us get a kick out of sharing our experiences, good and bad. One thing for sure is that we all share a love for the Dominican Republic - some through religion or missionary visits, some through family or personal relationships, some through business, others through tourism and vacation, and a whole bunch of other reasons.
