re: #536 lawhawk

Agreed that there are significant issues with the comparison between Indonesia and Haiti’s reconstruction and rebuilding efforts - population is a huge difference along with natural resources, but there are some things that Haiti could use to its advantage; it could make better use of its position as a tourism destination, it could become a banking center along the lines of the Caymans, but it starts with real reforms and a change in the culture of dependency.

That was going to be my point but you beat me to it. I’m still under the impression that the best thing that could happen to Haiti right now is if a large chunk of their population were to move. They need to just start over.
