"Haiti may be something out of the past or the future... but this country has very little to do with the present." This was the observation of British sculptor John Buckley on a recent visit to the Caribbean. "Haiti is a surreal country. Everything is larger than life. Where else can you find a military dictator who doesn't send his citizens off to war to be killed, he shoots them down himself on the home front? Where else do people in a voodoo trance kiss a pig to death? Where do families see the devil strolling down the street? Where is Aids running riot?" How could Buckley know his observations were pre-apocalyptic?
