(i tried to choose the category here on yanswers pertaining to "health," "mental," but there is no category here about mental health. this is an emotional mental health issue, but i put it into "politics" because so many of the people that i refer to in the question are very concerned with their image of being "politically correct")...
on the day following the major earthquake in haiti, i saw on the news the burial procedure for the dead. to the best of my knowledge, it has not changed. i saw truckloads of corpses being buried in mass graves, but it was pointed out that no one was taking pictures of those that died so that their families could identify them.
when the tsunami hit sri lanka, all dead were photographed before they were laid to rest in the mass grave pits. that seems very human to me. would you not want to know if your brother or child was among the dead?
so since there are so many wealthy, liberal actors in hollywood (who are so quick to get heard in front of a camera as to politics), how come they haven't donated CAMERAS and the means to pay for film development and processing enough copies of pictures of the dead, to be distributed all over haiti so that those that are alive may properly identify their family members and friends to bring closure to their misery? last i heard, kodak still manufactures and sells disposable film cameras... so does fuji, in case the company NAME makes a difference...
why hasn't bill gates, a man that had a net worth 15 years ago of $78 BILLION dollars, donated enough DIGITAL cameras, SD RAM cards, photo printers, and basic computers so that the living that are physically able and willing to get this done can take pictures of the dead before they become unidentifiable skeletons?
i also thought about mr. obama doing it, since there is no end to the number of woes that humanity suffers that HE (who walketh upon the water) can solve! i mean, since he hosts 2 parties in the white house each week and has played golf now--since he becomes "exhausted"--far more times than GWB played golf in 8 years as the president, said on camera the other day that he intends to "do something" about the poverty in haiti. so,
maybe mr. obama, who accepted the nobel peace prize not for anything he ever DID, but for what he WILL DO in the future (along with the dollar value of $250,000 given to the winner) and a wealthy buddy of his, al gore, who also accepted HIS nobel peace prize for making the movie "an inconvenient truth," all about climate change due to human activity (which of course probably caused the earthquake, ha ha ha), could get together via flying in their big, jumbo jets to copenhagen, or, why not bali or some other exotic, relaxing place in the south seas (???) to figure out a way that the army corps of engineers or the marines could unbury the recent dead, to take photos of them, so that the basic human emotional need of knowing if your loved ones are alive, are injured, or are dead, could be GIVEN to these people of haiti, who generally live on less than $2.00 a day.
has any "concerned" person or group of people (or company, like kodak or fuji, who have laid off basic workers but still pay their executives 6 or 7-figure incomes and give them many benefits (such as private gulfstream jets, stock options, and so on) who live on far more than $2 a day, begun the process of getting cameras, etc. into haiti?
i want to know who has had that brilliant idea and is implementing it as of today, january 19, 2010? what's in it for them?
thank you to the loyal american members of our armed forces for calming down the chaos of this catastrophe and for getting food and water and medical care to ALL in haiti that need help! you go, miss liberty!

Additional Details
rb: you can be sure that i know how wretched this country is, what with the rampant corruption that causes skinny, miserable people that rob and loot. no one in chicago with a mind wants to even TALK to a haitian!
i don't think you understood my Q. i said that someone should be contributing cameras and the means to reproduce photos of the dead, for distribution all about the country so that relatives and friends can identify the dead rather than wonder for the rest of their lives what happened to them.
i didn't mean that someone who is wealthy should go there to stand around, taking pictures. please re-read the Q.
Answer :
Lots of people are taking pictures. Anyone with any sense is staying out of Haiti since it's a wretched and dangerous place, but whoever is left is taking pictures when they have the time. When they're not worried about getting food, water, and sanitary conditions. Why do you want some wealthy genius out there taking pictures? Man, that's elitist. Anybody can take a good photo.
Answer :
Limbaugh has plently of dough.. ask him!
Or John McCain and his wife have at least seven houses.. possibly nine.. they are rolling in dough hit them up for some money if you are so concerned !
