Respe – I just wanted to say: don’t get discouraged. I thought Baby Doc would die in that sit. I abandoned my revolutionary zeal, mainstreamed (sold out), have the wife and two kids, eh caca happens! I have come to understand that refuting the obvious influence exerted on the planet currently by Western interests is an exercise in futility. The empires of the modern era though less discernable are increasing their control over our lives using their money to corrupt the political class manifest in the US through lobbying and political contributions, and elsewhere around the world through bribes and murder. As we enter the 21st century, exploitation remains the cornerstone of capitalism especially the laissez-faire brand of capitalism practiced in the developing nations where men and women compete with children for few jobs. Honest men and women must not allow "free market" to become synonymous with exploitation and depressed wages. I started with the man in the mirror. I made him change his ways. If we are to make the world a better we must not envy the oppressor and we should choose none of his ways. I fear for the generations that follow. I thank Manitou that I am on my way out. The signs are all around us: electronic surveillance, finger imaging, credit/debit cards, passports etc..., etc. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. Even that could be tolerated if we could just have poverty without so much misery. Hope however springs eternal, I have more ties to Haiti today than I did just three years ago, and for me that's a good thing.
