Sak Vid Pa Kanpe

An empty sack doesn´t stand

You could pass on every other blog post I ever write, but please read the article linked below, by Deborah Sontag from the September 19 NYT.

Couldn´t describe how this makes me feel, though it doesn´t come as surprise. Despite inattentiveness, we at least intellectually have known this to be the reality in Haiti. A ceaseless hell.

Sometimes I wonder whether our ability to see this slow, suffering death and then walk on to our usual business...makes us a little less than human.
