It's not that we don't care but rather we have our own issues that need to be taken care of. 100,000 people die each year in the US because of inadequate insurance. But we wont send aid to that, why? Because it's not a catastrophic event? Why can't everyone dontate 10 dollars to that cause as well? Why must we help another government that can't even help itself? Haiti has a government... just because it is flawed and doesn't serve and protect the people the way ours does, does not mean that we must feel obligated to extend ourselves to them. I just do not like how we put more value on some lives than others because one creates a better headline than the other, when we could and should help both. My husband is Haitian and my mother-in-law lives in Haiti, so I do have a personal tie to the country, I just don't see how we are so quick to aid another while there are people here that could use the aid as well.

So, what, Haiti is a third world country, they can't feed or care for their own people. So because Haiti didn't help us after Katrina, we're okay with letting people just die... nice. And your point?

Haiti had nothing, now they have rubble on top of their nothing. Haitians could live quite comfortably on just what most North Americans throw in the garbage. Shame on you.
