Helpless? Hopeless?

PBS is showing a program on Haiti right now. I am not going to pretend to possess a fraction of the knowledge I need on the subject. I do not have any answers.
However, I would like to suggest a hemp program that might produce a slow, but steady, solution for some of the environmental issues (soil stability, oxygen production), hunger issues (hemp seed is an excellent source of protein and healthy fats and oils), biomass fuel for energy production, job production (hemp fiber, used for clothing and a myriad of other products just happened to save George Bush Senior's life in WWII by being the material used to make his parachute) and even economic growth in the realm of viable, sustainable trade.

Just a suggestion.
