In this age where a person can lay bleeding in the street have people step over him it's reassuring that there is enough good in the world that when things like Haiti happen we step up and help.
Then I read reports about idiots getting in the way.
What on earth would make a church in the USA think it could send some of its congregation to Haiti and take 33 children out of the country without any authority? It appears they just had transport. One of the children, an infant was so badly dehydrated when they were stopped that it needed emergency medical assistance.
Then there were the scientologists who got on a plane with just money, no food, supplies or plan and when they arrived had to ask the UN if they could set up in their compound. These scientologists went into a hospital and in a land where superstition reigns "laid hands" on sick and injured people and told them they were cured. Medics in the hospital complained that sick people were refusing treatment because they believed the scientologist had special powers.
