Larry, I am pleasantly surprised at the fact that you seem to actually understand the concept of "do no harm." It is rare to encounter anyone who actually understands the true meaning in that very old saying--that includes people like doctors for whom the expression is supposed to be core. It seems to me that most people who claim to want to help Haiti fail greatly because they forget that what causes harm is relative to individual culture and history.

I will pay closer attention to your post from now on.
