From: Wicked Uncle Nigel on 16 Jan 2010 16:34 OK, it's clusterfuck, and no mistake. Aid is taking way too long to get where it's needed. But... Look, maybe this is just me. I am seeing news reports with large numbers of people milling about saying "we need help". And also (apparently) large numbers of dead bodies that are going to cause disease. They don't have shovels? Dig graves, guys. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - "He's hopeless, but he's honest" "Enviromentally, it is our duty to re-use our plastic bags. To suffocate our children" - Frankie Boyle.

Ah, I have seen no references to that. If it's so, I withdraw the thought. > I suspect >most of the shovels are being used to dig live people out rather than >for digging holes to put dead people in. Understandably so, although burying the dead fast might be for the greater good. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - "He's hopeless, but he's honest" "Enviromentally, it is our duty to re-use our plastic bags.

They probably need to do some kind of formal identification before burying them as well - and with everything fucked up I'm sure that's not very easy. -- Antony

You get that in any disaster , most people wait to be told what to do its the way we are conditioned , in Haiti the whole government structure has collapsed (it wasnt that effective prior to the quake)
