Haiti...
seems to be the sort of state that Libertarians and the Right Wing wish for the rest of the world and especially for the United States. No Government; no infrastructure; destroying the environment simply to survive; no memory of any other way.
Do you agree? Add your thoughts because I would love to find some talking points for the coming primaries here in Texas in this rant.

2. Hubby and I were discussing this last night
Why are M$Greedia's hacks bawling about lack of emergency workers and heavy equipment? This is Grover Norquist's kind of government.

3. It sounds like poverty - should we redistribute your wealth and mine to equalize with Haiti
Isn't wealth redistribution a good thing - or only if its not your money or mine. You and I are wealthy compared to most in Haiti - I admit I don't want to equalize my standard of living to those in poverty in Haiti - but isn't that really wealth distribution?

4. Nice right-winger response, there...
Yes, indeed. As for wealth, I just distributed some of mine to help the Haitians. How 'bout you?
