2. "Of the 100 dominant economic units in the world today, ...49 are countries and 51 are corporations. Digest that for a second. What does that mean? It means that corporations are the driving force of decision making today. And corporations are not concern with human rights, they're not concern with human life, they're not even concerned with a proper wage for the people who are working for them. So what kind of decision are going to be made by these economic power, these corporate States? ...We've become consumer societies driven by economics, not by common sense." Indigenous Native American Prophecy (Elders Speak part 2)


3. "The world has become 'a market' ...when you say 'resources' you're talking about our relatives, our family..." Indigenous Native American Prophecy (Elders Speak part 3)

I have worked with Haitians in the bateys of the D.R. over a period of 14 years. My wife went in shortly after the earthquake on a medical team.

Consequently I have more than a casual interest in our country's Haiti policies. Thank you for speaking out.
Thats the way things work around here, sweetie. Putting the Sha of Iran in power. Backing Hussein against Iran. Mubarak against his own people. Politicians are interested in trade agreements and launching bases not actual justice or fairness.
What @snoreville said + you can add the UK to it.
Guilty as charged with no way to change things.
Yes, Aristide's calls for dignified poverty, are apparently too much.
Interesting some choose to comment the that is the way things work around here. No that is the way your unmitigated cowardice allows them to work. If you are not prepared to fight genocide withy your last dyeing breath then it is my contention that you are not worth the air you breath!
I look forward to more of your posts like this.....
