After the celebrities have gone, the struggle for survival goes on in Haiti. Now is not the time to forget, once the cameras focus elsewhere, on the next attention-grabbing catastrophe. Giving aid to those in need is what humans do. One day, that person in need may be you.
The Caribbean is a volatile region... socially, politically, geologically. Port-au-Prince. Montserrat in 1995. Martinique in 1906. The den of iniquity, Port Royal, in 1692... when the sea swallowed "the Most Evil Place In The World".
Evil or benign... plate tectonics is indiscriminate.
We are our "brother's" keepers, when all is lost.

Welcome to the United Corporate States of America
The US Supreme Court decided that corporations, dubiously allowed "personhood" nearly one hundred years ago, can now spend unlimited billions of their profits to contribute to political campaigns.
Ah, Freedom. That's why people used to come to America.
When Presidents and the rest of Congress are placed by their Corporate masters, that concept is "out" the proverbial "window". It's the return of the Robber Barons.
Corrupt banking. Bat-Shit crazy political nominees. Insurance companies that write their own legislation. A Party of NO. Another party of airheads.
"Only The Fittest Of The Fittest Shall Survive":
That would be the people that have to work for their daily bread.

Hey, fellow Americans... here's how you can give the finger to the "Banks Too Big To Fail":
Transfer your accounts to a local bank, where the staff is more approachable, the benefits go to your community, and the corruption is easier to spot.
Since the strategy seems to be bleeding the middle class dry, just cut off the source.
