"Some of the advice for how Haiti ought to rebuild after the earthquake sounds hauntingly familiar. There are echoes of the same bad development advice Haiti has received for decades, even before the nation faced its current devastating situation.

1. Billions in Gold?
Read that Haiti has billions of dollars worth of gold in them thar hills.

Is there anybody who can confirm this? Tanks. (sic)

Too, with all the free labor, free food, and the free priests down there, how hard is it for a Haitian to actually get a paying job?
