question about Haiti earthquake

Hay guise!

Seeing as how we've been told there was a magnitude 7+ earthquake in Haiti, and seeing as how Haiti and the Dominican Republic are side by side sharing the tiny island of Hispaniola which is only a few miles across--in fact, Haiti only occupies the little nub at the western end of an island only a couple hundred miles long, is any of you wondering why we aren't seeing anything on the televitz telling us about the poor suffering Dominicans?

Why do you suppose that is?

How does everyone feel about the fact that the American government is giving 100 million dollars to Haiti, while other Americans are still recovering from hurricane Katrina. Or how about our own ghettos and trailer parks? Shouldn't the government help their own people first?

I even noticed that African governments are sending aids to Haiti.
