I
don't understand why Sprague finds it odd that some one could be critical of
the Latortue government AND the Aristide government....I don't hear many
complaints about the crack down on gangs by the Haitian Police and
Minustah...perhaps its because I live in a bourgeois Red Zone....the collateral
damage is awful but no less so than the violent culture perpetuated by the
gangs.... Haitians in general are tired of the insecurity and they want it to
stop now.... Sprague and his buddies seem to feel that gangs are inherent to
attaining a democratic environment in Haiti, especially for the
disenfranchised.... Perhaps Sprague should start a gang in his home town,
kidnap some folks, torture some folks, extort some folks and then do an
analysis of the
general public's reaction....On another note, if Chavez really had B*lls he
would legalize cocaine and once and for all create more transparency at ports
and banks in the Hemisphere.... Here we are, all pretending that this multi
billion dollar enterprise doesn't exist and that it doesn't affect our
governments, politicians, police, banks, taxes, businesses..... How about some
accountability????
Its Carnival time in Haiti...Most bands have their songs out... The Ministry of
Culture still feels that financing DJ's is the culturally appropriate thing to
do...Some one said that Aristide is the one that came up with financing these
DJ's because they could play the popular songs without having to hire the
popular bands...Manigat, in his four short months as President, came up with
and formed the Ministry of Culture back in 1988.... Franketienne was the first
Minister of Culture...I wonder what his opinion is on the cultural relevance of
DJ's on Champ de Mars instead of "Ban a Pieds" and musical groups... If a
Texaco gas station wants to hire a DJ and throw a party, no big deal, but
seriously....The Haitian Ministry of Culture???
