I hope Franco brought a few million unbreakable condoms for those who breed like wild rabbits. It couldn't happen to a nicer group of pro-creators. If you can't feed them, don't breed them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-5138634923231678492010-02-16T14:15:56.000-05:002010-02-16T14:15:56.000-05:00Anon, how much money did the US take during 20 yea...Anon, how much money did the US take during 20 years of occupation? Then adjust that for inflation. Nevermind the human cost of all the people killed under the dictators Papa Doc and Baby Doc that the US supported.<br /><br />100 million is nothing, that's less than half a buck per American. You won't even notice it. If you want your government to save money, start with the trillions in bank bailouts and the trillions for the wars.Chris Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305747866146613339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-61289077214984760742010-02-16T13:55:27.329-05:002010-02-16T13:55:27.329-05:00NO way do we owe Haiti anything.

This does not include all the private money they receive. Take a look at Little Haiti in Fla. and see what that population has done in our own land. Please no more Haitians!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-30373525480956028082010-02-16T12:32:16.477-05:002010-02-16T12:32:16.477-05:00Anon, half the country was cleared for slave plant...Anon, half the country was cleared for slave plantations, and much of the rest was cleared to send lumber to the west. The country is poor because they had to pay reparations to France for their own liberation for more than a hundred years. Then when they couldn't pay, the US occupied them for 20 years, and took almost half their national income.<br /><br />Please read the history before making such ignorant and racist statements. We owe *them* money, not the other way around.Chris Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305747866146613339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-37277937279966943032010-02-16T11:53:59.266-05:002010-02-16T11:53:59.266-05:00Long ago the people on Easter Island perished beca...Long ago the people on Easter Island perished because they destroyed their land. So have many other civilizations.<br /><br />I think Haiti should go the same way. I have no sympathy of people that encourages the raping of the land. All they know how to do is have babies and join gangs. The population will double again in 30 years if they continue to live on the dole of other countries. They need strong birth control regulation there. My fear is that 10 million will come here to the US. Of course that is what Franco wants.<br /><br />Franco, I hope you get to spend some time there as I have. Reforestation and birth control is the most important thing they can do. The population there is five times to big.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-41079966495301750862010-02-16T10:44:27.798-05:002010-02-16T10:44:27.798-05:00Great Story.
