Is there any timeline where Haiti isn't an issue?

Interesting design choices, I wonder what they say about the hands (?) that created them.

I hate to say this, but since I lost my Father, I have an idea of what he's going through. Take it one day at a time, also look around to make sure you're safe, and keep plugging along.

Trying to phrase this delicately, but I'm not fan of Homo superior since some in that group might decide they need to take over run things using force.
