dr lopez Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 blanket fort collapse please stop bringing pat robertson to our attention. his absolutely ludicrous thoughts are not even worth paying attention to. By any of us giving him the time of day, we are in some small way legitimizing his bullshit, when he should completely ignored. I thought it was funny but I see where your coming from, I sorries I'm just venting cause I heard him on NPR which is far more upsetting than loling at bullshit on WATMM. i sorries too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marf Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I feel really bad for the people. It is very saddening to see catastrophes like this in Haiti and around the world. I will say this, however, and that is that I wonder if any of the kidnappers, human traffickers, and gang lords that have dominated this region will be moved to give any of their monies gained by ransom, prositution or other means to help their own people that have been affected by this. I think charitable organizations should send money regardless, but should also put out a challenge to these people to maybe match them dollar for dollar (of course they would not, but sometimes just saying something sends enough of a message)? I also think that the aid we send should be managed somehow, maybe through some presence we place inside Haiti, to ensure it doesn't just end up in the hands of these gangs and actually goes towards humanitarian aid. Ok,Ok, I will match your dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Isn't Haiti the one where they deforested the whole island and are going to have to deal with mudslides and famine for the rest of eternity?

(hi george) ok...but: if topsoil's gone, trees don't come back. Look at Easter Island. They're just fucked, no? the soil can be rebuilt. with enough attention the whole experience for haiti could be completely different. it's all in focusing in on the details of the how and doing it in a very specific way that is within the framework of true creation and humans ability to harness creative energy and nurture sicknesses with it. it's all in the understanding, the obtaining of knowledge founded in the truth. the knowledge they (naive people searching for power) don't want us to have ...so that they can perpetuate capitalism. the only way economies work in their model is if there is a shortage of things and people have to buy them in order to survive. if they can keep the supply of things running only through certain streams then they can control who benefits from those steams of wealth. right into their pockets (same with the knowledge and themes which they want to keep forcing us to use, it's the same structure on that level to.) abundance and true freedom are capitalism greatest enemy. we must break the cycle.

Guest ezkerraldean Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 the soil can be rebuilt. how do you suggest doing that? (actual answers preferred over vacuous metaphorical brainfarts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redruth Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 the soil can be rebuilt. how do you suggest doing that? (actual answers preferred over vacuous metaphorical brainfarts) Biodynamics is a great model. a mixture of the wisdom in both food forestry and vegan based biodynamics would do it. (look um up) basically you emulate the same process of how a forest develops and functions, nurturing the different layers, helping to recreate the soil composition. this may take 10-20 years to achieve, no better time to start then now. then there are the metaphysical, spiritual aspects and thats a whole other area to discuss.

sneaksta303 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 After listening a bit about this on NPR, I thought about the economic conditions in Haiti before the tragedy occurred. I think the Haitians made this quake happen on purpose so other nations would give them foreign aid. But I did have teh g/f donate 5$ on my behalf, as I don't have a credit card.

Atop Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 If New Orleans is still pretty fucked up after Katrina, in comparison to before the hurricane, I don't see Haiti being able to recover from this anytime soon.... sad sad sad situation.... the earth will shake us all off, like the flea from the dog....
