I'm shocked beyond words. May God continue to watch over our brothers and sisters in that impovrished nation.

It's a tragedy. I'm not sure they'd even recovered fully from the one of... oh, about a year and a half ago?

I am sorry to hear that. I hope your family is alright.
I have a good friend of mine whose boyfriend is from there and his family is having a really hard time right now because they can't seem to get in touch with anyone to tell them that their loved ones are okay. And you saw on the news I'm sure that the Red Cross offices have been utterly destroyed by this, and Doctors Without Borders are saying that the conditions at present are utterly inadequate to do more than make people comfortable and keep them alive as best they can. They cannot treat severe injuries or even assess possible internal ones properly. Fortunately, I've also heard that hospital ships from Brazil and the United States are on their way. They'll need those for triage and treatment. And Canada's elite army search and rescue units have already been deployed, so they should be there by now. __________________

Caroline - I'm sorry and I hope you hear from your family soon.
I guess we can all help however we can at this point and hope that help from all over can get to Haiti pretty quickly. __________________

Thanks Sunny & Susan for your kind thoughts. So far we've heard that our family members are all accounted for but the info. is just slowly coming in right now.
Even after everything that's going on, I couldn't believe this happened today: Pat Robertson: Haiti 'Cursed' By 'Pact To The Devil' (VIDEO) Are you kidding me or something?! And on top of that, to say something like that while you're holding a fundraiser for them. Unbelievable! __________________

Okay, that is the first time I've heard that Pat Robertson made that comment during a fundraiser for Haiti. Everyone in that room must had been like "Huh?!!"

Well, this is the same genius who agreed when Jerry Falwell blamed 9/11 on the ACLU, feminists, abortionists and gay people, right? (Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, views on September 11-Truth!)
He's odious. That's not new. Pat Robertson is a tool, a quick look at his quotes of the past will reveal that much. Anyway, I'm so happy you've heard from your family, Caroline. That's a blessing. __________________

Ok this might get me banned and right now I don't care but Pat Robertson sounded like a complete ***hole.

I just don't get this - the U.N. has some nerve to order the doctors that came of their own free will to help the people injured in the earthquake to leave Haiti. Maybe they're just satisfied knowing that they've got their own team helping them find they're own people. Just unbelievable. And then they have the audacity to say this:
U.N. official on Haiti aid: It takes time - CNN.com Oh please. The help is there!!! It's right there!!! I'm sorry. It's just so upsetting. The people are suffering and still the help is being refused. It really breaks my heart. __________________

what, they are asking doctors to leave? why would they do that? If there is anything this country needs right now it should be doctors! (and of course medical supplies and facilities where they can work.
This whole thing is so sad. So sorry, to all who are in trouble there, and everyone who has friends and family on Haiti |
