DT: "I am not praying to Nature. I am connecting with a universal intelligence of which my mind is a part. It is a shame that you are not connected."-I am fortunate not to have been indoctrinated with god-belief.-
DT: "Unfortunately, the Haitians have never developed their society to the point that they are prepared. Is that God's fault? Is it the First World's? It is a tough-love God's challenge to be adult in societal rules and development."-I'm afraid that remark strikes me as being pretty close to racist. -Here is an alternative point of view that I read on another forum: -"Quake-proof buildings are cheap and easy to construct if timber is available or steel affordable. Human greed, in the form of the deforestation of the Carribean Antilles by international capital and the control of substandard building by a small band of absentee landlords has combined well with undue profit taking by the concrete companies: the result is the wholesale murder of thousands in the name of capitalism."
