Dear Miss, or Missers Higbie,

You give for me lots of things to learn. You give me amendments for genocide; but I only can say this little thing. If Lavalas partisans commit murder, it's genocide; if it's turtle's "freedom fighters", it's only pesticide. That's how I see it, in my maybe sick and sickening way.

It's the difference between killing people, and killing bugs. After all, they never call no body or no animal for killing bugs. Lavalas partisans may be viewed as bugs in this context, thus their murder looked upon as using pesticides. Meanwhile, if you die in La Scierie, it's genocide bikoz people die. There are indeed still to this day, people more humans than others, at least in Haiti.

Life to me, is of value. Not mine is more important than any person on the face of this earthly ground. That was and is my problem in Haiti's case.

I concurr with you, in the thinking that there's been more of a balanced virtue nowadays in the reports. But I am not ready yet to endorse everything coming from either side. I maintain that when I criticize, I criticize for good, not for evil. I construct and deconstruct; I don't destroy destructively. That's my motto. My words may be harsh some little time because my English is still little bit good, thus my words harsh. But that's what happens when my English not too good. If it was Kreyól, I could speak and write clearly well bikoz it's the only language I know very much more than just little bit.

It would be good if I had to not anymore have to discuss this discussion, but most certainly will if and when necessary. But I applaud your research and clarification for better clarity for all of us in the dark. I'll keep staying "in-between" the issues to better understand its "ins and outs".

Good week I hope for; it's a beautiful day in Stamford, Connecticut today. I am on my way to Rippowam Middle School for learning better English.
