..not affected by the earthquake?"

^poll question on CNN.com, with a bare majority saying yes.

Is this not a ridiculous question? Would it help Haiti at all to lose tourism income on top of everything else? Does anyone really feel compelled to cancel their travel plans to unaffected areas of Haiti because doing so would be the "ethical" thing to do? If I were making travel plans and considering Haiti as a destination, would it be best for me to scratch it and go elsewhere?
