You are now getting caught in the political correctness propaganda too. You made some valid points about personal responsibility, and I am all for that as well. I am however confused for I don't really know what people or country are you referring to.

Are you talking about Haiti and Haitian people taking personal responsibility for their future or are you talking about US and the American people?

If your entire message is aimed at the people of Haiti, it proves how detached, unintouched, uninformed, and disconnected you are about life in Haiti.

You post can be true for Americans, Canadians, French and many other nations in the world, but it does not apply and cannot apply to Haitian living in Haiti.

In the US, I and everybody else can except to take responsibility to our own future because United States provides ample opportunities for everyone to take advantage of. I just got my master's through federal and state financial tution programs made available to all by the federal and state governments.

I can become anything I want to be here in United States.

I can get a job easily.

I just got a new car last month.

I owned thwo homes here in New York, and yet, last time I checked my checking account it was at zero balance.

Now, tell me zarien, do you think I would have accomplished that much in my life time was I still living in Haiti?

I need to mention that I did have a college education from in Haiti too.

Zarien tell me how people can take responsibility of their own future in Haiti when there are no opportunities available to them?

Those who had the privilege to attend their local colleges cannot do anything because there are no jobs available to them. Going to a foreign country looking for a better life is the only form of job available to those with a college education in Haiti.

I agree that elite is not the sole cause of Haiti's failure, but the elite is greatly responsible for a big chunk of Haiti's problems.

Haiti could get better tomorrow if the elite wanted it to. The elite played major roles in all and every coup d'etat in Haiti.

The elite does not contribute or invest in anything in Haiti.

Their children attend schools abroad and the elite consumes mostly foreign products, and charcoal is the only local product the elite uses.

Zarien can you please tell us at least one opportunity made available to the Haitians by the government?
