Little boy lives in shanty town in Haiti, little food, water available, unsanitary conditions, no future.

Earthquake devastates the country....little boy buried alive, no food, no water, unsanitary conditions and no future.

Boy rescued, within 24hours back to little food, little water, unsanitary conditions and no future.

So what has changed?

I agree Redman, they'll never change in their ways, voodoo worshipping and all.

Yes society you're right, they will just carry on as before. Life is cheap there as it's a very backward Country. Sad really but corruption is rife !

redman......in your travels, have you ever been to the San Blas Islands off the coast off Panama.?..........I visited them on a cruise that I was on.....poverty the likes I have never seen before.

Life boils down to a lottery.............your future prosperity or otherwise depends upon who your parents were and where you were born.
Although I have passed through Panama Canal over a dozen times, visiting Panama City and Cristobal at the other end I did not those Islands Squad as the Ship was trading down the West Coast of S.America.
The poverty in some of these places is terrible Squad. Holiday Brochures never show poverty for obvious reasons but if you look behind the facade it's unbelievable what one sees.
Panama Canal is a must see experience Squad as you will no doubt agree.They are currently widening it to take the Worlds biggest ships.
good point squad there was an interesting article in the morning star yesterday on page 10. after everyone saw the damage done to gaza huge amounts of money was pledged to help rebuild gaza. none has ever reached gaza because israel will not allow cement, building materials or metal of any description to enter the gaza strip.
the only sewage treatment works was blown up , israel will not allow in the parts to fix it so raw sewage goes into the sea of the coast of gaza.
some things never change.......
Ahaah ! ... but help is at hand.

John Travolta has just flown in a rescue party of Scientologists.

They are sure to help ... not.

Their stated belief that post traumatic stress does not exist, and that the way to "cure" people is by "placing one finger upon their foreheads" and enlightening them as to the ways of Scientology ...

... well, that will be a big help to the starving, dying, homeless Haitians.

I'm sure they will appreciate the "one finger" much more than, say ...

... food, water, blankets, money, etc.
Question Author
JJ...LOL
Well, the Scientologist rescue party has not taken any actual aid.

They are offering spiritual support ...

... ie a recruitment opportunity, as far as they are concerned.
JJ - one finger can do a lot, and with much satisfaction too. One never know unless they experience...
Question Author
society.......////one finger can do a lot///

In my limited experience, a "finger tip" could do more ;-)
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh.
