Tiba my blogging friend, I have to again caution you with how

Pertaining to learn French/to Tiba and Lloyd, Tiba my blogging friend, I have to again caution you with how you phrase your thoughts.

I know that you don't mean to say that all Haitians are "lazy," and yet that is what you did say. I know you meant to say that many Haitians today are not taking responsibility for the mess they've made of the country, but I know that you know that there are many of us who would do things very differently given the chance to do so--including you my non-lazy Haitian blogger friend.

Lloyd, I hope you do not get upset, but I feel I must point a fundamental flaw in your argument about language.

You see, if you reread what you yourself wrote, than you will see that instead of contradicting me, you actually proved my point.

You said that the Dominican republic has no language issue and that is why they are prospering.

Well the fact is that they have no language issue because they have not created a language issue like we have. However, just like us, their language is the language of their old masters the Spaniards.

What they have done is simply educate their people properly--just like Jamaica, Martinique, Reunion, Dominica, Trinidad, Cuba, Barbados etc.--all countries that use the language of their masters.

The topic is: Go back to school and learn French!
