We Have Tried To Remain Objective But...

Its the morning of the 11th day since the earthquake of 2010 struck Haiti, and still not enough medicine and / or medical supplies has reached its people. The world banded together to try and help Haiti. I can honestly say they are doing all they can and giving all they know how to give. All of the world really does want to help and it is much appreciated.

I heard a terrible story today that some people had to get surgery without anesthesia and others started trying to amputate their own limbs in order to avoid infection because no one came that could help them with their wounds.

Yet almost immediately soldiers came from around the world and were literally crawling all over the place. Today i asked one of them to go and help those people, the people with serious wounds and he said 'we really want to help them but we are not doctors and we don't have any of them on our team'.

I kept wondering why so many soldiers and not enough doctors, and then I realized that military is all the governments of the world have to offer. We spend trillions on high tech star wars weapons programs without even blinking, yet we argue about the cost of health care for people.

I look forward to the day when hopefully our children, but more likely than that our children's children look back on this time, talk about us and say, Oh look at that, what neo-neanderthals they were.

They squandered everything. Used all their resources to build weapons. Oh look at how they destroyed the whole planet back then and when disaster struck, they couldn't even heal their sick because all that they had planned for was war.

They had satellites in the air, yes that they could do, but too many were trained to be soldiers and there were not enough trained as healers. They had weapons of mass destruction but no systems of mass medical support.

Ah that explains it, oh i see, it is because... their brains were smaller than ours! Really there's no evidence that we came from them. Maybe we actually evolved from other primates. Lets study the DNA!
