People (?) in Haiti protest and block roads because aid is too slow in coming. WTF

Now these are clearly dumb-heads of the first degree but fine.  Let em block the roads with rotting bodies (as they are doing) because they somehow thought that relief was permanently stationed off shore just in case Haiti needed help.

I can’t say as I blame them if that’s what they really think altho I made that part up all by myself.  See the thing is, those folks have been getting handouts from the world at large (and especially the USA where they think money grows on trees) for so long, that they think all they have to do is hold out their hands and the help is immediate.  Well it usually worked that way in the past.
So there they are, protesting by blocking the very limited roads they have where help might come through. Smart thinking. doh.

The upside of what some will see as tragedy, is that there are now far fewer who will breed.  Of course that’ll change very fast and they’ll double the lost number in short order.

Downside?  You betcha.

I M M I G R A T I O N !! And where oh where will they be headed to?  Oh let us see.  Gee whiz this is a hard one. Now let me think. Hmmmm

Britain pledges £10m in aid as Brown describes ‘tragedy beyond imagination’

Desperate Haitians have set up roadblocks of corpses in Port-au-Prince to protest at the lack of emergency aid reaching them after the catastrophic earthquake.

Although billions of pounds has already been pledged to the devastated country, help is only just beginning to trickle through.

Rescue efforts have been blighted by poor infrastructure and lack of heavy lifting equipment - as well as the damage wrought by the disaster.

Shaul Schwarz, a photographer for TIME magazine, said he saw at least two roadblocks formed with bodies of earthquake victims and rocks.

‘They are starting to block the roads with bodies. It’s getting ugly out there. People are fed up with getting no help,’ he said.

You probably have this on TV 24/7 so I’m keeping it short. Below is the link to the article source.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
