What Else Coud A Cold Sore Be

wanted to be a tribute to Nicholas Castilian ...

a week ago, any media English opens with news about Haiti. It is the same as always: there is a disaster (rather than predictable, on the other hand, the situation in the country) and we turn in the area to try to mitigate the disaster, days, weeks at most. Then another thing butterfly, there will be more hot news.

What happened before in Haiti? Haitians Do you enjoy the Caribbean beaches? Did they live in hiding from the sun under a banana? No, we know, is the poorest country of America, of course, because of colonization, because of a corrupt political class that has left the country plunged into lawless misery, because of the transnational corporations that loot the poorest countries because the governments of richer countries that allow and take advantage.

And what about the rest of the world? Is there any other disaster beyond Haiti? And what of Haiti in a few weeks?

I do not think there is a risk of misinterpretation, I do not intend not to talk about the disaster, I think it's great that the media-the same that operate according to their own economic interests, "make us feel guilty. But not only by what happened in Haiti, but so, for what happens in Guatemala, by what is happening in Somalia, as happens in many parts of the world, where, again, the rampant transnational without governments local limit their power to act in the same way they do the governments of rich countries, whose inhabitants enjoy unfair prices for the exploitation of fellow citizens of the world, in other areas.

is no time to feel guilty consciences clean or doing some other donation, be generous. The truly generous -Or not so simply human, "is to remember how millions and millions of people when we get up, when we go to buy a large area, when we throw the leftovers, when we buy clothes tirelessly (lowered or not lowered) to Although we do not fit in the closet, when we go canes instead of going to a demonstration of solidarity, when we vote, when ...

The other thing that pisses me off is the criticism the U.S.. And it bothers me to say it, not that I want to defend this country ungrateful, but they're doing more than any other, but insufficient, "and I a foot touches European Union can not agree on anything, be allowed to criticize if you're trying to show his generosity, that if they are occupying the country because they have sent soldiers to coordinate actions (when or United Nations has been able to) that if they give little ... A rabble, rabble others. One, because what they do is not one-tenth of what they should, and the others are not able or above the tenth and critical neighbor. You have to fuck.

Actually, this post because I have been craving all morning in the last week I skipped a few tears listening to the chronic correspondent Ser in Haiti. Nicholas Castilian-bearing years touring the African coast and Canary recounting the horrors of another major disaster in recent years on the English coast, or by immigration, get humanize the tragedy, strange as it sounds. I do not know if it corresponds to the code of ethics of journalism, but Nicholas is affected by what he sees, the morgues, the situation, to witness hunger and thirst, to see wounded without assistance, the situation in general, and was note. Of course, that does not stop to tell us what happens to the fullest extent, but no longer a person and it shows. And my attention and called me more attention than catches my attention, but correspondents as human memory, so engaged, so involved. Nicholas seems more a volunteer a journalist, but not because it does good reviews, but because the main reason is in Haiti now is his commitment to people.

few hours after posting this entry, there is an interesting reflection in the same line in canalsolidario.org . In that sense, another thing that crossed my comment (criticize) was the fact that the visit Hillary Clinton this past weekend freeze on the single runway of Haiti for three hours ... taking into account the number of planes needed to land with the aid sent from all over the world ... "Little thing" ... Pictures got the chick, yes, I did not see, but it sure came out great.
