I couldn't help but shake my head in amazement reading the featured lead story at netscape.aol.com from late last evening.

Haiti a Year Later: Lots of 'Solutions, Little Shelter':

http://www.aolnews.com/2011/01/11/haiti-a-year-later-lots-of-solutions-little-shelter/

Moreover, the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, aka Radio Canada) has been running 'promos' for a two-hour featurette about this same story. The programme will air nationally early next week.

What in hell is taking them so long? Why was it possible to re-build Louisiana in two years; but apparently yield little by way of traction in Haiti in one?

A second take on the situation, also from the front-page at netscape.aol.com this morning:

Sean Penn on 1st Anniversary of Quake: 'Haiti Cannot Wait Any Longer':

Because no-one actually cares about a load of poor black folk in a place that no-one knows how to get to. There's no profit in it.

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
