#6:: Good News from Haiti: A response to Durban responds
From:HaitiGspl@aol.com
I got home early this morning and enjoyed our conversation in Haiti. I have
been reading your comments to Poincy and appreciate your views. I doubt that
either of you will alter your positions and for the record I endorse your
thoughts. Granted a dollar earned by assembling imported components is not
as desireable as assembling products made from local raw materials, but the
workers would assert that a job is a job and the dollar earned will buy rice
to feed a family today. I am no longer interested in the "big" picture or
long term solutions because none of them will work until the political system
becomes focused on progress. Until then, I intend to continue to help in my
own small way. I am not responsible for changing the government. Let those
who can (be it peasants or the wealthy) do it.
I would like to talk more about the boats and hope to visit you on my next
trip in August. I am leaving for Alasla on Monday and will be back on July
21.
