Humanitarian Efforts Gone Wrong

by Slate Quicksilver

A devastating earthquake ripped through the island nation of Haiti on Tuesday. It is feared that perhaps 100,000 of people including their citizens, leaders, U.N. soldiers, visiting Doctors and nationals of other countries have perished. The fault zone that runs through the island of Hispanola, which was assumed to be prime for a large earthquake finally gave way just 10 miles offshore from Port-au-Prince, the capital and population center. Prayers and thoughts go out to their people.

As if thing aren't bad enough, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere is about to get gravely worse. Another poor nation, this one located in the hills of eastern Tennessee, the Vol Nation as they call themselves, is pulling themselves from an earth shattering event of their. Their "leader" is leaving for another country. A much much richer country so rich, in fact, that they can afford to pay their own players while they play there.

The Vol nation is enraged, yet has taken time to do what they think will help Haiti.

Flooding Haiti with nuclear puke orange shirts will just make the populace sick and make nausea rampant. Haitians need medical supplies, a hospital, food and confidence that their country will not lapse even further in to the depths of Hell on Earth. Sending these shirts will only make things worse. We can only hope for a reconsidering by the Vol nation but if necessary, a U.N. detachment will be sent in to prevent this malace from being spread.

  1. Haiti has enough problems, but Puke Orange running around the place? Glad I live in America where I can drown that out with color combinations like orange and purple, powder blue and yellow or bright red and yellow.

    Grant Hill #33. That coupled with a pair of Hightop Air Jordans and some bleached blonde hair like Eminem. Pop in some "Pretty Fly for a White Guy by The Offspring and I'm a senior in high school again.
