Haiti is Grover Norquist's vision for America
I realize that I am using a tragedy to make a political point, but it's too important for me to not point out. Haiti is what Grover Norquist envisions for America. The government was pretty much non-existent for people even before the earthquake struck. The consequence is that there is no infrastructure for rescue or relief. That's what Norquist and his colleagues want for us. We don't need government. If have a natural disaster, the people will "pull together". Yep, great vision.

2. I was thinking along the same lines:
This is the end result of no govt. and no govt. regulations and no govt. infrastructure.

3. Of course it is. And when it happens, they'll blame minorities to boot.
Seriously, that's how they think.

6. You're absolutely right, and yes, it is his plan.
This has to be pointed out. Learning lessons is part of getting over tragedy.

14. Yes, you can do the smilies.
Too bad you don't know anything about current events. Well, I guess that's what happens when all you do is watch Fox News all day.
