Subject: leiderman: s.s. haiti sails again
It is now a week since gunmen killed Attorney Dorval, yet not a peep on
this list. Why?
How like a cruise ship is this thing called "Haiti." Thousands, no,
millions of passengers pay to come aboard (alas, some are actually born
aboard) but then segregate themselves by deck, size of stateroom, view
of ocean, speed of elevator, distance to dining and access to captain,
with the least necessity or intention of mixing. Yet back home later,
all will equally boast and acknowledge the status of having sailed on
the S.S. Haiti.
This is a triumph of mercantilism. Next week, the ship will change its
name to another country, and the process repeats.
