Haiti

OK, it's clusterfuck, and no mistake. Aid is taking way too long to get
where it's needed.

But...

Look, maybe this is just me. I am seeing news reports with large numbers
of people milling about saying "we need help". And also (apparently)
large numbers of dead bodies that are going to cause disease.

They don't have shovels? Dig graves, guys.

 

They have buried 50,000 apparently. Not bad going really. I suspect
most of the shovels are being used to dig live people out rather than
for digging holes to put dead people in.

Ah, I have seen no references to that. If it's so, I withdraw the
thought.

Understandably so, although burying the dead fast might be for the
greater good.

 

They probably need to do some kind of formal identification
before burying them as well - and with everything fucked up
I'm sure that's not very easy.

**** that. Get them safely away from the living, do the paperwork later.

 

Heard it on the news in the car earlier, & it made me go '****!'.

 

You get that in any disaster , most people wait to be told what to do
its the way we are conditioned , in Haiti the whole government
structure has collapsed (it wasnt that effective prior to the quake)

 

which might contaminate the water supplies. Cremation might be better

 

But think about all that carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide caused by the
fires being released into th' atmosphere. Nasty.

Heh. That's probably what Pat Robertson[1] was thinking.

It almost makes you wish there was an afterlife, just so Pat Robertson
could rot in Hell.

 

Look. It's simple. They made a deal with the devil to free themselves
from the tyrannies of the French. He's just collecting on the IOU.
They deserve everything they get, allegedly, Pat Robertson has spoken.

Mucho credit to the aid flyers, pity the airport's fucked.
Strikes me there's a wonderful opportunity for couriers there. Triple
rates, thousands of stepthroughs from Dominican Republic and Bob's yer
Aidty.

It seems the airport's pretty much fine. It's the "final mile" that's
the issue.

They need some British Posties.
