Comments from CNN about Haiti's Cholera Epidemic

 
I am appalled at all the arrogance here.

To be quite honest. I'm tired of hearing about Haiti. I got my own problems. The country doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned.

    Haiti has always been a mess. Haiti will always be a mess. Get over it.

    OK, I am for donating, and I actually did. But the question still remains... how do we know how the money is being spent? Is there any way to know? We are talking about millions and millions here... well, maybe my question is sort of stupid anyways...

    Apparently Jamaica, Barbados, the Antilles, the Bahamas, Martinique, Curacao, the Dominican Republic, and other Caribbean nations don't have any natural disasters. Or they do and they are able to cope. How much money has the US been asked for from those countries?

    Like spending tourism $ in those places, and they like getting the tourists and $ too.

    "Who will supply clean drinking water? Who will make sure there are proper bathroom facilities? Who will dispose of the waste? Or for that matter, the dead bodies?" Etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum. These are the types of questions about which Zannini is thinking. What happens after all the Haitians get back on an even keel? Well, before long, there'll be another crisis — except, of course, that by then there'll be even more people in trouble. (Because all the people who were save will have bred another gazillion babies by then.) If sustainability isn't made an integral part of the equation, then Haiti is doomed! For that matter, without sustainability, the whole world is doomed. Think about it! less

    This seems very tragic. Probably, neighboring countries need to be prepared for the epidemic, and also the safety of aid workers in Haiti are concerned.

    Hades Welcomes His Bride

    While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind. I think some shapes Will gradually

    So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less time there. Yesterda
