Devastation

I gotta have the strongest routine ever, even though I'm technically free from all schoolwork until Monday when Political Science IV begins, I still sit in the library between 8 and 3. And reading a recommended book for this course NOT mandatory. So I must be insane right? At least my friends believes that, or at least they look at me that way. It's even worse then that. Yesterday I got the urge to take a walk outside for half an hour. When I got back I've haven't felt that good for a long time. The exhaustive feeling and then sitting down releasing a sigh. Need to do that more often as the cold is leaving.

Yes, I know. I should probably head for a hospital to get my brain checked, I must really be sick. Doesn't help that it is in Norwegian. Not hard to read, although it needs a bit thinking around certain words and to stop giggling at some words that just funny. Of course they probably think the same about Swedish.

And then We have Haiti that's been in the news for 1 week. Today it mostly revolves around the true mob rules, which in my way is at the far end of the anarchic and liberal sate (neoliberalism and such). No state, no law. And what is the solution for this? Money? No, what they need is (and I know this will sound undemocratic) stability, and how do you get stability? You have one set rules backed up by police and military force. Thereby creating a zone of stability where the aid relief can enter and distribute food and money for rebuilding the island. Of course, that will probably not happen if you look at its more or less kleptomaniac governments. And no, god did not punish them.

And for everyone else that ask why bad things always happens to those already lying down? Maybe for that reason. Why haven't they fixed themselves? Bad government that means the trust in government doesn't exist. No trust gives no stability and there you have it. Had they had a strong trustworthy government it would probably had the means to organize the survivors and all. And why a quake there? Check a tectonic map, the answers there. Economy blown away? Land based which take a hard hit. Compare to Japan which lives between to plates, but their economy is not based on land. It still cost them if somethings happens, but they wont be on the mercy of other countries in the same way.
