Kidnappings!!!

Wow, I just found out a friend from high school got kidnapped back home in Haiti. Thankfully, he was released after his parents gave a ransom. Kidnappings have been occurring on a daily basis. Who is to blame? The economical conditions? The collapse of a nation? Greed? I don't know.
I just know that to live in a country where one is virtually jailed is not what my ancestors fought 201 years ago.
