[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 333995, member: 6546"] Nancy-- I agree with you... It's hard to watch a well-heeled news reporter, standing there with his bottle of spring water, talking about how people are injured and starving and dying, living without shelter and there's no way to get help to them--and then mentions that he even felt the tremors of more after-shocks in the high-rise hotel where all the news agencies are staying. Ummmm.....what???? There is an intact, luxury high-rise hotel for reporters and news crews....there seems to be no problem flying news equipment in and out...their people are obviously well-fed. And they will stand there and say there are no options for the Haitians? That's just not right... I suspect that poverty has a lot to do with it. The victims are the poor. There is only help for those that can afford it. What we are seeing is EXACTLY what happened on the Titanic. If you are poor or low-class, you are left on your own--to survive (or not) any way you can. It's horrifying! --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
