It is pretty crazy how Haiti falls off the map so frequently in the US.

Those who say our government is bad or our economy should try to take a visit to Haiti and apreciate just how good they have it here. We are not prefect but still better off than most other people on the planet. We have the luxury to complain about the things we do gripe about because we have so many other luxuries.

Haiti is not in the news because it is broken down and poor- the poorest in the Western hemisphere. It has been that for a long, long time and that is why it is no longer considered news. It is usually only mentioned if it gets hit by a hurricane or is having an election. People there would love to trade places with you. Ten percent unemployment? They would celebrate if it got that low. Corrupt government? The only kind they have known. And it makes ours look like the Pope by comparison.
