Earthquake - Page 21

Haiti peaked in 1802. Been in a decline ever since, since apparently their talented people aren't ethical, and their ethical people aren't talented.

What to do? I don't know -- ask Bill Gates to buy that half of the island as a fixer-upper?

Remember Haiti? Me neither.

Amazing how our attention moves along, isn't it? It was only 5 months ago.

Actually, yes. Just last night I was forced to listen to a schoolkid remake of the Haiti remake of "We are the world". I found myself wondering if it would cause another earthquake. And then I hoped not, because that was not a fun thing.

And then I wondered how the clean-up was going and whether there were disease epidemics and I googled and I found this: http://newsone.com/world/newsonestaf...-up-continues/ and I sighed because they are dumping the rubble in the rivers and creating more environmental problems down the line... but this was the only recent thing that came up, and nothing about disease and I figured life goes on.

thanks for asking

Apparently, it did.
