Let's take a hip step back for a moment.

Someone today asked me where Haiti was.
Seriously??

*Haiti is the poorest nation in the W. hemisphere
-70% of Haitians live below the "US Poverty Line"
*Average lifespan (M&F) is 49.7 years
*97/1000 infant mortality rate
*French Colonization +political oppression= crazy instability.
*45% literacy rate.

7.0 Earthquake didn't help.



7.0 magnitude earthquake = appx. half million tons of high explosive.
Think about it.
