I respect your opinion.

It is true there's a brain drain in Haiti.

Our young people cannot wait to get out. There is no hope for some! But some people including many, many parents from the mass see great opportunity accessible only though hard work and education.

That is the reason why many of them, with or without support from a family abroad, send their kids to local university or abroad to study.

Some of them come back some don't! When they come back and start to have a decent life, they call them "elite", and made them responsible for their neighbor's misfortune! These neighbors, who spent their time under a peristyle, give their hard earned money to hougans, spent their time playing dominoes even when they have the chance to go to schools! As much as I agree with you on most part of this post, I object to what you said about the elite, as if this minute, wealthy and educated group of people is responsible for all wrongs! This is complete foolishness! This is the language the politician use to get the mass behind them. Our people play a major role in the destruction of our country! We reinforce their belief that people with money or the elite are responsible for their misery.

You guys never mentioned what the 'elite' have done for Haiti.

We have elected few people from the lower class and look what they have done for the past twenty years: Haiti becomes poorer, more violent, and of course more much dirtier! People are no longer learn " CIVIC and Hygiene", people are no longer singing "for the flag, for the country" this hymn becomes obsolete for most of them; it is substituted by " For Me, Myself and I".

Please! I am tired of the blame game. It is time to teach people to be personally responsible for their future, no matter what happens, regardless of who is in power, only you can do dome thing for yourself.

It is time to encourage personal development and growth if we want to reclaim Haiti; there is much more to do than to blame one segment of the population.
