Her strength, courage, nobility, and beauty exemplify the Haitian people.<BR/><BR/>All decisions (by "big people") inside and outside of Haiti need to be made with one question in mind:<BR/><BR/>"How do WE improve the lives of ALL Haitians?" <BR/><BR/>That is a scary question because it includes the millions of invisible people in Jhiny's economic "class". But their poor (but noble) lives COULD be improved dramatically if the will was there. <BR/><BR/>Sorry to pontificate...working downstream allows me to see the floating debris slopping its way to the brown Port-au-Prince Bay. As you know, the amount of suffering at the base of the mountain in Haiti is unimaginable and inexcusable.<BR/><BR/>JohnJohn A.
