Porphy, with the recent news of the guy that made the Kony video running through the streets in his underwear, .........ing, do you think you'll still be serving a good purpose by donating to his cause???
This is the first I've heard of it but from a much limited search on the internet I can already say inconsistencies are already popping up. Such as, ".........ing", where is that in the story?
(Subject) is at the corner, banging his hands on the ground, screaming, incoherent, the transcript says. People are trying to calm him down, hes been stopping traffic.
The above quote is everything I can find in the AP release, which is of course "the story" just reprinted in every outlet with little to no modification.
The cause for Kony 2012 is still the same, this guy didn't make the relief of human suffering invalid because he was admitted to the hospital. What he did is showed the world that the media had egg on their face and I'm sure they are chomping at the bit to spread this story far and wide. Most of the coverage of the Kony 2012 video on the news started with some anchor precluding the message with "We've been reporting on this for years but now it has new life. A video about Joseph Kony is going viral..." Who wouldn't want to discredit someone who showed how truly inept our normal news is at effecting change?
Why would I be shying away from a cause that asks us to come together as a bi-partisan community to solve a global woe, or to even see how far we will take it? Is it because it's an election year? Should that even be a consideration? Wouldn't it be a great message to send during an election year that we support action and positive change
over flat platitudes and promises to nowhere?
Who is crazier, the guy who strips to his skivvies and has a break down or the guy who kidnaps children and makes them kill their parents and mutilate peoples faces?... Or the people who know about a guy who kidnaps children, makes them kill their families, and mutilate peoples faces, and do nothing about it? 80 million people sent into action or 80 million stalled at inaction? No, I think I'll hold onto my belief that Kony is a bad guy and needs to be taken out of power, we've done more for oil with decades of strife as proof, and I value a persons life a LOT more than I value my cheap gas.
but sadly will be the big 50 in May
