Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

I reflected on how Ukraine deals with catastrophic damage of this nature on a weekly basis.

Re: Is Haiti Near Actual Collapse?

I don’t consider relocating the population of Haiti to America to be a reasonable solution to anything. In particular, the same gangs in Haiti have already established themselves in America. The problem needs to be fixed at the source. For an example of how to fix things, see El Salvador. Thank you...

Re: Is Haiti Near Actual Collapse?

A better question is what’s taking so long. We hear endless noise about Ukraine and Israel. Why not act in one of our closest neighbours? It's very possible to act today. I am currently assisting numerous Haitians. Log onto the USCIS website and fill out an I-134A for a beneficiary and they often r...

Re: Is Haiti Near Actual Collapse?

An interesting book about Haiti is "Haiti, a Shattered Nation". They haven't had a functioning government for decades and there's no infrastructure. The best solution, I feel, is to assist them in our wonderful country.

Re: "English" who join the Amish

That would be fair enough, although as I understand it they only switched to English once they had seekers show up who didn't know German. Do you know if Delano uses English? FWIW, I'm not against using English, just the majority of Old Orders I interact with don't preach in English. Too modern and...

Re: "English" who join the Amish

I'm not sure I would consider Unity and Smyrna, Old Order. Meetings are in English, they have meeting houses, Sunday School...and if you're doing Sunday School, you've left the Old Order camp. That would be fair enough, although as I understand it they only switched to English once they had seekers...
