    Finally a solution for Haiti

    Cool, this is the plan. "The Secret" will to be translated into Haitian Kreyol. Then Tap-Tap (Haitian taxi trucks) drivers will be conscripted to broadcast the text over a loud speaker. (They can visualize payment coming toward them as they proceed through the city.)

    This can also be broadcast in the aids clinics and food distribution points.

    The program should proceed for maybe three or four weeks. After that money and healing should be zooming to the island from all directions. Those unable to receive the blessings, because of "blocking thoughts," can be rounded up and sent to the Dominican Republic to work in fields and as domestics.

    Tourism will flourish, Haitian cuisine will be the new rage. We will all eat goat and wear kerchiefs in our hair. Voodou will be the new religious right.

    My God!

    Why haven't we done this before?

    Now everyone visualize money flowing to fund the project. Read set--beam!
