Having travelled the world whilst in the service of my country, I've seen all too many countries like Haiti. It is truly shocking and eye opening to see what other people have to live with. And all too easy for folks from the "Western World" to get jaded and lose sight of how good we have it.

One of my favorite quotes from one of the morons I work with; "We're gonna end up like Canada!!"

I asked,
"Ever been there?"

"No."

"It' s a beautiful place. Very nice people. Heck, you can hardly tell you've left the U.S.."

"Oh." Turns and walks away...............
