I see u are using chemo for cancer treatments.This is something the US uses.It is not a cure.I cured my prostrate cancer with baking soda.I used molasses as a delivery.If i get another bought of cancer,i will use cannabis oil.If pot was legal in the US the doctors could find out what i know and several hundred thousand others here know.Ask Bill Clinton if he was one of the presidents that did all they could to keep people from reading about what cannabis oil can do for illness's.

Dr. Farmer and his colleagues at Partners in Health are unsung contemporary heroes. Despite being of little means myself, their's is one organization I always try to make a yearly donation to. I urge anyone to learn more about the cause, and perhaps do the same. "Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being." - Kahlil Gibran

"letting them run their own country" cannot be separated from the unfair economic policies that we impose on Haiti which keep them in poverty. Our actions towards Haiti in the past have entwined our fates and left us with a responsibility to improve their lot or at least to cease from actively repressing their economy for our own benefit.

Did the millions of Russians that starved to death under Lenin and Stalin have 'the right' to not starve to death? Probably; but because they believed in that right, they starved to death.

@18bites I agree it is unfortunate that our gov't thinks we can be the policeman of the world and boss everyone around....but more gov't intervention is not the solution....just handing money over will not improve Haiti's economic situation just as it doesn't improve the situation of any other country...we need to let them run their own country and solve their own problems

@culvereric You're right. I don't know you. All I have to go on are the words that you use: "i have no problem with people giving their money to charity just not the government using our money to do so." If there were a shred of justice in global politics, our gov't would be giving reparations to countries like Haiti for the misery we've caused.

@18bites you don't me dude....i do complain when our gov't does these things

18bites (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

@culvereric Yet people like you have not a single word of complaint when our gov't spends millions to destabilize and torture poor countries like Haiti and the reason why is clear. You are willfully ignorant of such realities. The US helping Haiti is a notion about as true as "Arbeit Macht Frei" was at Auschwitz.
