Everyone's been talking about the Kony 2012 movement.
It's an obvious important cause, but it's also hard to ignore the fact that this isn't the only place in the world where they have this problem and that the group supporting this has a less than great reputation. And when you look at the facts you can see that they could've been doing a lot more, if the funds went where they were supposed to go.
There's also the fact that you're seeing all these people from different places in the world supporting this one cause, hopefully because they truly care about it. It's nice to know that when something terrible is happening somewhere people are willing to come together and help. Sometimes we forget that not everyone is safe when they go to sleep at night and the campaign also shows the power of the internet and how people suddenly became hyper aware of this situation when it was posted online to different sites.
So, what I think is that this is definitely something that needs to be known and that needs to have peoples support, but the non-profit supporting it does seem to have a questionable stance on where their money and anything else they get for their cause is going to. Basically the cause is a good one, but the backing organization is not one I would want to be giving money to.
