HIP HAITI BEFORE THE VOUDONGS — VOUDONGS BEWARE!

"For those into socio-economic palaver, do-gooding left or right, rescuing the innocent from animism, seeking saviors, hating dictators, pushing the foolish conceit that Democracy will solve all problems, Haiti can lead you down a knotty path of unresolvable convolution while creating shallow and preposterous ego trips.

"Better to just dig it, just as it is , embrace this Hip island of artists like an artist, warts and all. True, there are far more warts today than fifty years ago, but the great magical enchantment of Haiti continues, if only all those heartsleeve dogooders, gringos, evangelicals and voudongs would get the hell out of the way so one could more directly perceive.

"Marvel at this great natural phenomenon which could never have been invented and may never be resolved! King Henry Christophe, where art thou?"
