conv: We really are lucky to live in the United States. Do you ever wake up and realize how lucky we are? I travel a lot and I just got back from Haiti. I'm convinced it's better to be poor in America then rich in Haiti. That's a profound thought. We definitely take America for granted_comma_ especially when some people say it's in its "worst state in a long time." We're prisoners of the moment. Those that criticize have not traveled the real world out side resort gates or into the third world. Then you see a real state that is in trouble. Yeah_comma_ I guess you would know for sure_comma_ since you've seen it first hand. Especially a place like Haiti_comma_ that's just gets pounded with hurricanes. What brought you to Haiti_comma_ if you don't mind me asking? I travel a lot. My self and my wife try to see 2-3 new cultures a year.
