So what's this Kony thing anyway? It's about a guy who recruits children to his little (understatement) twisted army that tortures anything in their paths. I completely agree that's inhumane, terrible, horrific...any possible word to describe the horror.
It's all over fb, this kony thing. The irony is, most peeps are more aware of this rather than Lynas. And lynas is right smack in our country whereas kony's a thousand miles away. Why look out so far when you're oblivious to what's in front of you?
A quote from a friend on twitter: "I guess to many people, child slavery/rape/assault drives a bigger impact than pollution and cancer." To me both are equally as important. It depends on one's view on it. Maybe kony's more viral or widespread whereas lynas.. er so so la. But lynas' in the news! on national telly! whereas kony's not. Bang, another irony.
maybe people are more shaken up by child abuse/slavery than cancer and pollution and the future generation at stake?!? Doesn't that shake you up too?? ==
So...start from our country. Or support both. But main point is, open your eyes, to the things in front of you, right under your nose. :-)
