Obviously not all the money is going to be going to the people of Uganda. I knew this and I still donated money to the cause. Because it makes me feel like I'm doing something with my life and my money that's making a difference in the world and not just fending for myself.
I had a conversation with a friend at the gym today who had seen this on my facebook and was asking me about it. So I told her about Kony and what he'd done, and what he's still doing. And her only response was 'Nothing's gonna change.'
It makes me sad to know that people are so...disheartened, because we don't live in a third world country and we don't have to worry about complete psycopaths like Kony invading our lives. Taking this first small step, will no doubt lead to a better world. We're showing as a people, that we care.
I know you were on board during the SOPA and PIPA acts. And I imagine you would have donated money to keep the internet around if they'd asked for a few dollars a month.
How is this any different?
I'm not meaning to be argumentative. So I'm sorry if this comes off as such. *hugs*
