HAITI and its over 7 point Earthquake

The Earthquake that hit Haiti this week was of over 7 points on the Richter Scale.  There hasn't been one of those in more than 200 years on this Earth.  The island could have sunk under water.

Haiti is the poorest country in this Western Hemisphere with 90% of its population living with less than $us 1 a day;  after this earthquake conditions in that very poor country are going to worsen.

Perhaps the U.S. could, and should, absorb it as another state or as a semi-state like Puerto Rico or Guam.
