you know about the earthquake, maybe you donated some money, but how much do you really know about haiti and why it is the way it is. you won’t learn anything from soundbite TV news, and you probably won’t from your newspaper, but if you have 15 of 20 minutes, you can read this post. it’s not pretty, but it should be read.
