HAITI

Where were you the day before the fatal earthquake? You could not care a fuck about Haiti then, could you?

“H” is the 8th letter of the alphabet.

“A” stands for Angola and Afghanistan and “Z”-the last letter of the alphabet -stands for Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Why is it that a natural disaster evokes mass sympathy and empathy whilst human made disasters go by unseen?

The disaster in Haiti suddenly sparked (tragic as it may be) a universal “guilt trip”.

CNN, SKY and all other major broadcasting centers are there. We feel shit and donate. It is like the Tsunami, it comes and it goes. The Tsunami is gone now together with CNN and our own conscience.

We love the footage, we are all voyeurs and we dig deep into our pockets.

Why, why, why?
