I doubt if I'll ever be able to visit Haiti, but I sure have enjoyed reading your accounts of it.
I'm a little surprised. Just a little. I thought you might jump at the opportunity to meet some wonderful, car free, and mostly fossil fuel free, folks in Haiti.
I am convinced that the posters who think that every cent not spent by the majority of the world's population on anything the poster disapproves is money available for "investing", are economic dumbbells.
I agree there are plenty of economic dumbbells in the world. Specifically, those who think that government has no place telling people what to do when artificial means are needed to internalize externalities. Your complaints about the "holier than thou" car free folks, and your lack of talk about solutions to ecological problems, makes you come across as a "pure-laissez-faire" type of person rather than an economically sensible "please internalize externalities" type of person. Extremism on the side of laissez-faire economics requires the same kind of economic illiteracy that's displayed by people who take the opposite extreme and advocate some kind of "command economy". (I guess both have similar results, too - that almost everyone gets pushed around and exploited by powerful people who have control of enough resources that they can pretty much run the economy.)
