I know this has nothing to do with this issue of Chapter and Verse but I was listening to your show today when you were speaking of Haiti and its constant turmoil. Historically speaking Haiti has been a failed state for almost its entire existence. The only time it was remotely stable was between 1915 and 1934 when Woodrow Wilson sent Marines into Haiti to take over the government because of the potential of its infighting allowing other foreign countries to have the potential to establish military bases threatening United States interest. The issues in Haiti extended as far back as the Andrew Jackson administration who wanted to annex Hispaniola and make it part of the US. Between 1911 and 1915 seven Haitian presidents were assassinated and Wilson decided to "send in the Marines". Unfortunately, as is usually the case, this did not substantially alleviate the unrest in Haiti.
You spoke of The Dominican Republic. The DR, among other things, makes the finest cigars in the known universe, vastly outstripping the Cuban cigar industry
Thanks for reading this and btw, I love your show. Here in Ocala they moved you from the 12 to 3 slot to the 10PM slot but I sit on my porch, smoking my pipe and absolutely laughing at half of the comments you make! Unfortunately, I am an old guy (79) and nod off right after Florida Man at 11:45 PM
