I am white of European descent, I acknowledge that my ancestors collectively have done lots of evil things, like genocide of native American Indians (handing out free blankets after they were around bodies of people who died of small pox) however, in the interests of peace on earth, I believe there should be a statute of limitations on how long it is Ok to gripe about injustices, and alleged crimes, such as what happened to a guy called Jesus Christ approx 2,000 years ago.

Otherwise, there will never be peace on earth until much more massive genocide has been done to wipe out all but one group of survivors.

For every type of griping, there are people of all walks of life who do it, and people of all walks of life who do not do it. Virtually no stereotype is accurate.

This is particularly bad problem in Haiti because Haiti government does a very poor job of communicating to its people what actions it takes, and the reasons for those actions.

The news media in Haiti is not strong.

Police tend to protect those who do not want the news media to know what they are doing.
