14862:Digo: Reply to Dorce



From: "[iso-8859-1] Digo" <gdigosse@yahoo.fr>


It seems to me you are focusing too much on the anecdotal stereotypes of
the
Haitian society. I do not want to dwell on that point since I do not
believe
this is the proper forum to address this issue. I agree with you
wholeheartedly
that the democratic principles need to be respected. One of these
principles is
freedom of expression. However, you discard Jean-Claude Bajeux as one of
^these people who are trying to figure out how they can control things and
take power without having to be elected^  just because you don^t agree
with
his views on the actual situation in Haiti. I think he was one of these
so-called ^Intellectuals^ who supported Aristide early on in his political
career.
By the way, Ms. Dorce, I don^t know when and where it begins. It seems to
me
that Intellectual and Intellectualism (your word) are becoming dirty words
in
the Haitian lexicon. These words are being used by many as some kind of
insult
and they are soaked with contempt, disdain and disgust for a whole
category of
Haitians. Should these Haitian ^Intellectuals^ be sent to a camp for
re-education and how can they be identified or separated from the rest of
us?
