WOW! Fun and Sun in the lush paradise that is Haiti!!!!
C'mon, the country is a cesspool, the unflushed toilet of the caribbean. The people are lazy, uncaring ingrates, soulless criminals that polutte the world with their emigrants. they come here and bring their kind of non-work ethic and disdain for education. Please, use the lower fares to go back! and stay!!!!

well, you all obviously have pride in your country, a sentiment that I, a xenophobic arrogant ass, cannot fault. Yes, I believe Haiti's problems stem from the U.S. meddling in domestic affairs, and the subsequent corruption, but that is history and not an excuse for continued economic axphixiation. The truth is, the corruption continues. Aristide had a incredible opportunity, a clean slate, foreign aid and patient banks, but he blew it as well, falling to the temptation of self enrichment. There is little in the way of natural resources, manufacturing capacity and public safety that encourages aeasy solution. it will take hard work, investment and a true commitment for improving the lives of the population, it is not an enviable task. Lack of oil and gas reduces the population to denude the forests for charcoal. lack of security prevents the development of tourism dollars, with the exception of insulated resorts, which are of little benefit for the people. Haiti needs more than anything to build a professional and middle class. perhaps moves like Spirits will help create employment opportunities.
