Eating Dirt to Survive Look at around you, what do you see? People waking up early in the morning going to work, people who work hard to sustain their daily living. Have you heard them complaining? Maybe yes, maybe no? Probably every one of us is complaining about life being so unfair, complaining about being poor, Not everyone of us are blessed to have an abundant wealth, not everyone of us are lucky enough to eat the right food our body needs, to eat at the right time – 3 to 4 times a day. But try to imagine, most of us are still complaining, while others don’t have enough food on their plate, have no shelter to dwell on, and have no clothes to wear. Can you imagine yourself so poor and so hungry that you have no choice but to eat mud? Yes, mud! Hungry people in the slums of Haiti are giving new meaning to the phrase “Dirt Poor.” As food prices soar, many desperate people are eating mud cookies to stave off their hungry pangs. The Haitian woman below is preparing mud cookies by mixing vegetable oil and salt with mud. Can you imagine?

I was born and raised in Taiwan and been educated that the people in mainland China are very poor. They didn't have food to eat because "Cultural Revolution" and Taiwan government educated us "Think about the people in mainland China had no food to eat, so DO NOT WASTE FOOD". I always finished all the food in my plates even one last grain of rice. Up to this date, I still have the same habit. I don't waste food. If I can't finish my food, I will save for next meal. If I eat out, I will ask for a "to go box" to bring home. In this world, it is unfair. Rich gets richer, poor gets even more poor. Few years ago (in 2009?), Haiti had a big earthquake. The media broadcasted this news on TV, internet, ... and asked for donations, but I heard those donations mostly went to some rich people pockets but only partially for Haitians. Honesty is the best policy.

Our sense of waste as a human society in many parts of the world is of a tremendous volume. There is the continual talk of eliminating poverty across the globe. Then Haiti is a good place to build and example. to achieve it, the program must be ran by a agency "Outside of Haiti's governments ability to interfere". #1. Make Education "MANDATORY" #2. 'PROSECUTE CRIME with focused determination. #3. Create a Limited Child Birth per family policy (* going forward) 4. Mandate some form of Birth Control - Prosecute people for unprotected sex between non married people. (* this can be identified by unwed people giving birth, Mandate the woman identified the man, and put the man to work, his earning will be first dedicated to caring for that child, if the woman has a second child out of wedlock, then she gets no public assistance after the child is 1 yr old, she is mandated to work and to produce the father and he is mandated to work. The money from the man does not go in the mothers hand, but in a fund, which bills are paid from that fund. This will eliminate the "baby making for profit". The mother is sent 4 hrs a day to skill training class. People have to be taught that FREEDOM IS ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY, THERE IS VAST VOLUMES OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT AROUND THE GLOBE WHICH CAN BE CONVERTED TO FARMING AND INDUSTRIAL USAGE, set up a brick making factory, and steel production facility or importation of steel, and build storm resistant housings with a mandate homes be built out of steel frame designs. Each home is equipped with a storm shelter. Now with the volume of money poured previously into this country, these things could have been set in motion long ago. But its time to do it right, and stop patch work games that result to achieve nothing of significance. . Change their Currency, so all those who stole money before won't e able to use it, people who got their money honest can convert it to the new currency, those who were criminal are just out of luck, they have nothing but a mass of worthless currency. either put a program in place that works or leave it alone, because decades of waste and graft and every kind of looting has not worked, and other measures, now its time to do it the right way. It's a small island nation, 'Register Everyone" !!!!!! allyoung people under the age of 21, go to school and when they finish they must perform 2 yrs of national based community service. Any older person who is healthy will be trained and put to work. There is too much to be done to allow people to do nothing. Senior Citizens can be taken care of, BUILD A MASSIVE VOLUME OF SENIOR CARE HOME FACILITIES, AND ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES. There is more than enough people to train for nursing programs. It's time the help become responsible in how and what it aims to do as in being help. No more dumping money to leaders who live in luxury while the country falls apart.

There was earthquake/ Tsunami/ Nuclear Reactors meltdown in Japan on March 11, 2011 (I was in Japan for 5 day in late January 2011). There were 19,000+ death in that dreadful day. However, Japan didn't ask for financial help from international countries. There was earthquake/ Tsunami in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. They didn't ask much for financial support. There was many earthquakes in Chile, but they don't ask for financial help. There was a earthquake in China in May 2008 (the same day I arrived Beijing). China didn't ask much financial help either. Only Haiti needs financial help after earthquake even so many years past. Why? Honesty is the best policy.
