Misguided Angels of Haiti

Well, I knew sooner or later they would make another Haiti cartoon. This one takes the cake for "Most Ridiculous Symbolism"



So, Haiti looks a lot worse than the last time we saw it. It's turned very gray, even those poorly drawn palm trees that used to be all green, have withered away on the god-forsaken tiny island that is, apparently, Haiti. A blind angel is stealing a child with it's eagle feet and his enlarged heart is exposed, which he is using as some sort of compass. He will probably die in a matter of seconds. But he doesn't know it because, you guessed it, he's blind. Hell, he probably doesn't even know he has eagle feet. I feel a lot worse for the mutated angel bird man than i do for the child. Besides, she'll land safely in the water.

But the situation in Haiti is no different than the situation in most U.S. states, (or in Korea, for that matter). Human trafficking is the second largest growing crime in America and my state, North Carolina, is the third largest state to bring, sell, buy and use humans against their will. Oh yes, there are a ton of trafficked humans in North Carolina, mainly focused in the Raleigh area and slowly moving out to surrounding cities. I think last year, they even found 150 trafficked men working on some guys farm about 20 miles outside of Chapel Hill.
