Wow, what a saint, it was ok before eating your picnic while 60 miles away people were selling their children for $200 into de facto slavery, but now? How shameful!
I don't know what to think about this. On the one hand it is disgusting them still docking there, but then I have to ask how close is too close? Is it in poor taste to vacation 60 miles away from Port au Prince, out of range of the scent of decaying corpses but ok to dock at Domincan Republic on the other side of the island? Considering most of Haiti was a squalid and despicable hell scape before this, was it ok before but now that it's an extra-despicable hell scape it's worse?
Luxury liners are still docking at private beaches near Haiti's devastated earthquake zone for holidaymakers to enjoy the water...
"It was hard enough to sit and eat a picnic lunch at Labadee before the quake, knowing how many Haitians were starving," said another. "I can't imagine having to choke down a burger there now.''
