Thousands of Haitians made homeless by a devastating earthquake two years ago are affected by tropical storm Isaac, as torrential rain and winds destroy the tent camps they live in. Because the country is heavily deforested, there are immediate concerns Isaac could trigger deadly flash flooding and mudslides.

The World for People who Think
...is a tribute to the persistence and resourcefulness of the human spirit.
I don't know how they do it.
The rural areas are in a little better shape than the urban areas, but the whole scene is pretty awful.
Remember: Haiti was only the second American country (colony) to successfully rebel against the European robber-baron-bankers for control of their land and their lives. And it was the first slave colony to so rebel, and to free its slaves as a result of the rebellion.
It has been punished by that power group ever since. That same power group is now trying to punish the U.S. for similar "crimes." I pray they will not be as "successful" as they have been in Haiti!
