[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 679850, member: 2189"] Jim, Interesting article but as I read it I also considered this POV. In the case of those having built by the river and been washed away by flood, consider this thought for a moment. What if there existed at the time, a central power who intervened in human action and created a policy to get more people to live by the river. They extolled the goodness of such action, the economic benefit to all who do so and they even portrayed it all as having no risk. I mean, the central power was saying it was good and we trust the central power so therefore it must be good. If one could show where other forces used and manipulated average folk for the purpose of a larger, less seen agenda, would it therefore suggest another POV when considering the folks who did follow central power desires and build by the river? Agree they still may not be completely innocent but if the only information they were given was false to begin with, I'm not sure just how far complete responsibility on their part should be assigned. Time will have to bare this out and lots of people now are looking more and more at Haiti and finding all kinds of foreign intervention and manipulation for the purpose of outside self interests. Here's another POV on the matter and thanks for posting the article above. [media=youtube]ijf2hIwBgFc[/media] [/QUOTE]
