you might think that all these tall and visually impressive buildings you see being built means that we are seeing wondrous times here; i caution you to look a little closer at the situation.

i read you loud and clear, Mr Lautaro. try to understand that we have de facto rationing of electricity in this country. we are not far away from rationing cooking gas. it is not lovely right now. only the rich are living large; the general public is under great pressure to survive!

i will hope he does not read my post. as for Palin; what can i say. here is a woman who promoted abstinence, and opposed sex education in alaskan schools. ain't life strange? maybe her daughter was not home the days she gave her sermons on sexual conduct and sex out of marriage. i love it when this kind of crap hits republicans. every time one of them gets caught with whores, or little boys, i laugh. because they have appropriated the moral high ground to themselves, but are nothing but a bunch of self righteous hypocrites. at least democrats don't ever try to legislate bedroom happenings.

Maybe he was acting under the traditional southern prejudices, GC. It's not exactly a secret that Haiti has always been hated on the South, because it was a reminder of what could have happened to them have they followed with their economic system.

because, Mr Lautaro, only americans believe that americans are bright. there is a thin veneer of very sharp people in america. the rest of the people are as dumb as stumps. you ever take the time to listen to some of the idiocy you hear from politicians on TV? then we call Hippo dumb? most folks in the usa cannot find france on a map of the world, but are never loath to sound off against the french. look at the iraqi invasion; 75% of americans agreed with the invasion, but only 19% knew where it was! hmmm....

I am very aware of the needs for better government... But going back to the Haitian issue, and please tell if you disagree... DR is building fast... whether it is hotel for the rich or apartments... doesn't matter what, constructions are taking place. If there were no haitian in DR these industry would not stop from building... They won't... DR is a moneymaker... What they will do is PAY more to Dominican citizens to have these buildings made... That in turn would give dominican citizens more money to improve their lives, better housing, unemployment would drop lower than what it is, etc.... If having haitians is the essense of progress why is Haiti in such a poor condition and hardly anyone invests there?

Dominicans don't like constructions because it pays low... Here in the US I have seen WHITE PEOPLE working on construction... and not just any white as in Russian and Polish immigrants from the 1990's... I mean White boys who are 2 and 3 generations... They do it Because IT PAYS $40 an hour... If the same were to happen in DR we could see many young dominicans making a decent living by working these projects that will take place no matter who says what!!!
