We would all learn something new if Mr. Goodman found
some historical factual errors and let us know about
them, in Farmer's attempt at providing historical
perspective to recent events in Haiti. Whether or not
you agree with Farmer's viewpoint on the politics of
recent events in Haiti, I found the presentation and
the quality of historical facts he presented very
informative. Although he is not a historian, his
attempt was very laudable in terms of structure,
support for his comments and the consistency of some
historical facts he reported with what I learned and
lived in Haiti from the 1950s to the 1980s. We
sometimes wished history was different and sometimes
tried to rewrite it. From that standpoint, I
sympathize with Goodman's lament.Thank God for LABELS!
