Good Morning, Gentle Readers!Today's image has been displayed before, and is titled Peering Through Smoke. I made it while thinking about the California wildfires, but I think it can be applied to Haiti too.
Americans are some of the most generous people in the world, make no mistake. And we have done our level best to get food and other supplies to the victims of the quakes. Why, then, do they still suffer?
Could it be that a number of greedy souls have decided to keep the supplies themselves? Or that these same greedy souls are more busy strutting their authority and simply keeping the aid from getting to where it is needed?
Granted, the logistics of such a huge relief effort are horrendous, made more so by poor roads made even worse by the quakes themselves. But there has got to be a better way.
I do have a proposal- or part of one. And I daresay someone else has had the same thoughts. Somewhere there is a topographical map of Haiti. And while most of the roads aren't on there, there should be something that tourists at least can use. I propose that parachute drops be used: At least, that way there will be food and drinks.
Until we meet, Gentle Readers...
