This forum established after an incident of witch hunts and tracing attempts was observed to occur against students who spoke out on a topic others wanted silenced, on another forum. Our site is dedicated to those students.

Subject: You missed an important point about Haiti/Domincan Republic
In reply to: 's message, "Really not an option at Bougainville" on 17:11:43 02/27/00 Sun

You're right. Haiti is deforested while the Dominican Republic is not so much. But the Dominican Republic is just as small a country as Haiti. I think your argument that this is an example of why the independence of a small country is not sustainable is in error.

What about Singapore? It's a city state, and successfully independent with no resources.

What about Slovenia? Pretty small country too.

What about Bhutan? There are many countries that are very small, have been around for a long time, and seem quite sustainable.
