“Joseph Kony is one of the world’s worst war criminals and I support the international effort to arrest him, disarm the LRA and bring the child soldiers home.”
this tugs at my heart and makes me want to get out and change the world …and i can. we can. now. today. in 2012. even if in the smallest way.
Since this video first streamed on March 5th, people have begun criticizing and attacking it. BUT – I look at this campaign. What inspired it. How it is inspiring others to help or be involved in a good cause. It’s touching hearts to think less selfishly. In it’s way, it IS making a difference in this world. People are becoming AWARE and wanting to take part in making a change.
so…maybe Kony will be stopped in 2012. Maybe not. But why do people need to start criticizing an attempt to TRY. I more respect those who try and fail than those who sit back and find fault in good intentions. We can all choose what cause to support and what to donate to. Let people support what they want. The main idea here is to share this video. A video that I think is making a difference on it’s own. We need to be aware….be moved…
Watch this video….

Great that you are showing your support Whit
) Everyone around the world, even here in Australia, will paint our towns red

i’m always for supporting a good cause! i love that are too….paint it all red!
I’ve actually known about this evil son-of-a-b**** for years, but it seems a simple case of political/economic/media racism… Saddam (has oil) = big news story, Kony (out in Africa) = lets run that news story about the kittens who can do that cute thing. I’m so glad this is finally getting ‘out there’…
It would be amazing to see this man and his supporters brought to some form of justice in his lifetime…
All the best, and thanks for sharing Whit.

For me, it’s a wake up call that i need to be more “learned” on what is going on in our world. I knew that things like this had gone on in Africa, just not specifically and to what extent. We need to know these things, even if they are unpleasant. I agree with you entirely…and hope that justice will be brought sooner rather than later. It makes me wish I had more means or ability to do something.
Thank you for the comment…whit
P.S. – how can a man live with himself doing what he is?? sickening.
