The Relief

I know this is everywhere, but it's serious. The Haiti tragedy has been heard for the past days all over the radio, news broadcasts, internet, newspapers, and so on. An earthquake hit the Carribean country with aftershocks that only made the disaster even deadlier. The massive earthquake is now the country's worst in 200 years; 50,000 Haitians are feared dead. Hilary R. Clinton reported that about 3 million people were affected by nature's pride and tens of thousands of casualties are expected. Haiti is one of the most poorest and least developed in the world, with many disastrous hits caused by nature, including hurricanes which have killed about 800 people and caused vast damage. Countries such as the U.S., Mexico and Brazil have been sending aid to the Haitian republic, including needed resources and money. Celebrities, websites, and television are majorly contributing to this cause. As much as the aid is being sent to the country, those among it retaliate with force and violence. The glutton for food and limited resources have caused an uproar, ending in such results as arrests and wounded. *Why does such a poorly developed country keep being hit with such disasters? Is our mother [nature] really furious at them for some reason? Or is it setting an example to all of us for what we're doing to her? According to websites online and articles, not mentioning any in specific [Google ehem], it is the cause of God's promise. The bible reads that such a place with sin shall be obliterated. Not exactly, but in that sense. Was Haiti really a place of sin? Is it being punished? [I'm not religious, but this is being pointed out to all those philosophical groups and commentators.] Then again, if you have spare change or anything of that sort [resources, etc], please donate to Haiti. If you don't know how to, just do it through Facebook, Myspace, or any other website mentioning it. Here are a couple websites that I've searched, legit, where you can donate for this cause:
