".

I use the word 'politics' once to illustrate an aspect of cultural politics in our country and people start saying I wanna become president.

It's like what?

I am in the think-tank business for the general welfare of our agonizing mother Haiti.

People like me do not naturally run for office.

I have no folly of greatness nor the need for a tedeum at the port-au-prince basilica.

However, to think clearly I have to put myself in the shoes of a Haitian president or a Senator.

I am working on a parallel between the Greffrard's administration and the Duvalier's. The
similarities are surprising.

Frankly, in the kind of democracy I dream for Haiti
a president would have much much less power than the current constitution gives him/her. Much of the power would sit in the hands of the Senate or would be delegated to regional elected officials.

thanks

Dear Dr. We need to think collectively. We need a diaspora plan first. Then each individual can decide wheter you would want to apply for a position in government in Haiti. What can be better than serving your native country, the land of our ancestor > >

Mark, your comment "the problem with Haiti and most other black republics is that they are too reliant on countries like the US for aid. As long as we are dependent on them for our most basic needs they will always be in a position to tell what to do > >

Rubens, I'm beginning to see that you are dead serious about running for president of Haiti, and that really scares me. You should not be president of a social club let alone a country. Let me list why: 1. You have repeatedly demonstrated that you > >

What a total b i t c h! That was not constructive criticism. You cannot do any of those things yourself you little loser. You are trying to rain on that brother's parade. You are trying to stand in his way, while he is trying to pursue his dreams. W > >

Linda a trap to know who you are is probably being set for you right now. When you contact that lawyer, you will most likely not get any services for your money, and do not think for a minute that you will get a refund either. Unless you yourself is > >

Rubens, je vois que finalement tu te decide a chercher un plan d'action. Je crois que la meilleure facon d'approcher la politique haitienne est d'attendre le parlement et pour cela tu dois te faire connaitre d'abord ici et obtenir le vote de confianc > >

I like that idea Rubens; with you love and passion for doing what's right for the country, working through the senate is a great start. With that, you could gain the leadership experience and the recognition necessary to become a president.I'll keep > >

Rubens; I think you just hit it on the nose. Why don't you organize a Think Tank. With all your energy, knowledge of Haiti, and love for the Haitian people, I can definitely see you creating something like that.You could get funds from various organi > >
