Originally I was going to blog about the purchase of my new car. But with the recent uprise in the interest in Joseph Kony I feel as if I will share my opinion. With everybody getting super pumped about Kony2012 and trying to get him as a known person. Funny thing is people already know who is he and what he is doing. If the ignorant people paid attention in our U.S. and global class at school they would realize that this is nothing new. We watched the video in class. When things come down to it, were already fighting a war. Most people didnt want the war in the first place. If we go try to fix problems with Joseph and kill him or whatever they are planning on doing with him we are going to waste more money by sending troops over there, some troops may die. Is that what we really want? I think enough blood has been shed in the middle east. Lets deal with problems in the United States first. There is kids dying here every day from poverty, starving, disease. What are all of you people doing to help the kids here? Watching a video or liking a facebook status is doing absolutely nothing. Yes, it does raise awareness of the whole situation but he has been doing this for 20+ years. What makes you want to try and stop him now. It isn't going to happen. Hes a multi millonaire who has plenty or resources to hide or fight his way out of the situation. When you were younger some kids dreamed of playing army man or woman....these kids get to do it for real life. I'm no ignorant person but when it comes down to the situation everybody is making it worse than it really is. It is a sad thing to see in the world don't get me wrong, but we shouldnt really try to stop things that are out of our control. For the peace of everybody else can we please move on and find a real topic to complain about. Lets get a real movement going where we can actually help people in real situations within our own country instead of something that is far away. Thank you.
