Spread the word. Link to this post if you want. I have it unlocked so everyone can see it. Do everything in your power to get the word out and make this known to everyone.

GET INVOLVED. STOP AT NOTHING. THE WORLD MUST KNOW.

I dare you to stop scrolling through your dashboard. Stop checking your Facebook newsfeed that you’ve already checked two seconds ago. Stop updating your Twitter and seeing what your favorite celebrities are saying. Stop watching funny and nonsense videos on Youtube. Take time to educate yourself to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in this world. This is your chance! WATCH THIS VIDEO.

Let’s make JOSEPH KONY Famous!!

Who is JOSEPH KONY?

He is THE WORST LIVING CRIMINAL. He abducts children and makes them use guns to kill their own parents. He takes girls and forces them to be sex slaves. He calls his abducted children the Lord’s Resistance Army, AKA the LRA. He has abducted over 30,000 children and forced them to be child soldiers in Central Africa. He remains at large because he is INVISIBLE to the world. FEW know his name, even FEWER know his crimes. WE ARE MAKING HIM FAMOUS! Because when he is, the world will unite against him and demand his arrest.

We can help make a change. We can make a difference.

I feel so inspired. I feel the need to help and make a difference. This has to happen in 2012. We can’t let him go around and keep doing this to children in Central Africa. Let’s make his name known so he can be stopped. HE CAN NO LONGER BE INVISIBLE!

To explain my comment more clearly, the makers of Kony 2012 seemed to be asking us to take a stance without actually taking into account what the people of North Uganda might be wanting, or what their stance might be on the whole matter. Inviting what America thinks is best rather than what Uganda thinks is best is dangerous.

Granted, Uganda is in a dangerous state, and, as you say, there is no straight answer. There isn't a sole power there - there are two, and it teeters on a precipice. However, inviting a third power in is, in my opinion at least, not a good way to resolve the issue, and Kony 2012 does not address this fact, nor does it actually seem to care in the slightest about what Uganda might want for it's people. It only seems to care about what America wants for Uganda's people.

My apologies. My bad on this--it's pretty late here and I thought you were making an antagonistic point. As I see it then, we're pretty in agreement with regard to what to think about Kony 2012. And thanks for the link.

Oddly, it's early here, and while my points are coming across as crystal clear to me, I'm clearly not processing how they'll come across to others. Must work on that. :-/

Eh, happens. No blood, no foul... :) S'problem of text I guess. And I really did jump the gun there.
