- Regarding your review of Paul Farmer's article; I have some facts to layout for you: There are "restaveks" in Haiti. Some children from small poverty-stricken farms, which can no longer support farmers' and their families, because of years/centuries of poverty, isolation, political interference, globalization, slave-wages paid by the multinational corporate factories, neocolonialism, "free-trade," U.S. farm-subsidies, and morally bankrupt rich elitists! These poor children have no choice but to come to the city to work in wealthier folks' homes (granted the majority are not treated well -- poverty is the stepchild of depravity).
A succession of dictators and thugs have been supported by the U.S. and other over-developed countries. But Haiti's first democratically elected government was "coup-knapped" by the U.S. in 2004 (2nd time is the charm -- Haiti's 200th anniversary of freedom -- thanks for the well-wishes!!!) with the support of Canada and France. The U.S. may be a bit embarrassed by the so-called "fail state" who managed to pay some of its onerous debts (thanks to its Caribbean neighbors), build more schools than ever before (in 1990, there were only 34 secondary schools in Haiti; by 2001 there were 138), establish social programs and keep the peace despite an arms and aid embargo by the U.S. and its allies.
When he was a priest, President Aristide fed and clothed these "street children". When he was elected President, he built the world's first radio station run by children called "Radyo Timoun" or Children's Radio. One of the first things the colonial occupation in Haiti did (in 2004) was to occupy the medical school in Port-au-Prince, close other schools (to build factories) and close Radyo Timoun.
The only reason Aristide was "removed" (as my Congressperson put it) was because he would not kowtow to U.S. demands in implementing its neoliberal agenda for Haiti. - Regarding your review of Paul Farmer's article; I have some facts to layout for you: There are "restaveks" in Haiti.

- Watching Phos bounce off of laukev7 on USA Forum, amusing enough. Haven't figured out just which kind of pagan is Phos.
