As some of our readers have so boldly foreseen the anguish to come in the scenes broadcasted in the news in all forms, it is with disgust, anguish and abhorrence that most of us may view the scenes of how persons make decisions on life and death in ways that most of us will cringe at the mere thought or get annoyed at the utterance of such suggestions, don't get me wrong I am not only making reference to the current situation in the disaster ravaged island of Haiti, but also in our own societies and countries. Now to just highlight a bit of the present situation, the scenes shown in Haiti of aid relief in all aspects leaves much to be desired, we are grateful that at least after all their lodging in the sticks (logistics) planning and preparation someone had testicular fortitude to step up and just do instead of talking, but the name or names of those unsung heroes will never be listed in the annals of history that will follow all this moreso the greed of some sects of humanity will want to cash in on the plight of our family in Haiti, nonetheless the manner in which it was done was totally chaotic, throwing food from a relief helicopter to people that are already grief stricken, hungry, homeless, tired, depressed and distressed , trying to come to grip with the reality of this harshness that only they know they will have to endure when the smoke clears, it tells me that some persons have no value nor respect for the conditions or circumstances of those in need. Regardless of how much problems they say they are trying to avert it clearly shows that all that's happening is a recurrence of former actions towards empoverished and poor societies even in their best of times. What will prevent this situation from becoming one of those that resembles that of African territories, will this country be left in a state where its people will fight among themselves for a morsel? What do you think will come after that?
