Incomprensible sorrow:Haiti

How can I begin to kvetch about personal problems, when over 200,000 people died this week in Haiti, and as I type, people are buried and dying below tons of rubble, and others, are starving and dying of thirst, in the Caribbean unmeriful sun...and 1.5 million people are homeless, jobless..... An entire country has been destroyed.
Darwins survival of the fitess thory goes into action, as the strong, over powers the weak...to get sustenance. How many injured people will suffer and ultimately die, because there are no hospitals left, not enough DRS helping....not enough medicine....not enough shelter...
The death toll will be larger than the SUNAMI, but it was quick....and those who died, about 1.5 million died within minutes or less....That was a cruel twist of nature, as was the Earthquake, but less cruel. The Earthquake is so much more cruel, and slow to kill its victims.

Its so horrible, its hard to imagine...how, the country can possibly rebuild. But rebuild it will. Bill Clinton and BUSH, now have the opportunity to do more mitzvahs (good deeds) to raise money and support, to make Haiti rise from the rubble and become a country again. New schools, new hospitals, new roads, new homes....rebuilt with code and strenght. I predict, better farming methods will be taught, and land will be made more productive for farming; larger corporations will be invited to open factories...with great tax incentives, and provide low paying jobs. but at least they willhave jobs. Those who survive will eventualy have a higher standard of living than they had...but it will take a long time. The slums will be leveled....better public housing built, better schools,.......but we must look into the future.....I doubt if I will be around to see this...but my predictions will live on.
