Darfur: What to do about it?

Recommended Posts

My honest question is:

Does anyone really give a shit? Really, it bothers me it really does. Until I turn the page of the newspaper over and get into another interesting story closer to home or to my interests. I'm a fucking hypocrit just like the rest of you. Oh its so terrible, someone should stop that but theres nothing I can do is there? Oh, maybe I could wear a wristband for Darfur, give me a fucking break!:S (Yes they really do exist)
So as I know about this terrible genocide of women and children who are living in the worst conditions possible whilst being attacked, raped and murdered on a massive scale the truth of the matter is as much as I'd like to say yes I do give a shit the bottom line is, just like YOU..... No I really don't give a shit. Its just not that important to me and just like YOU (Not just sundevil but YOU reading this) I am guilty of complicity in genocide.
Right... Now thats been said I'm going to get a shower, make some toast and plan what I'm going to cook tonight. No doubt that I will get absorbed in my work and most likely forget to make lunch let alone worry about a small child having its throat cut whilst being held down and raped. And before you start feeling holier than thou, you won't either because just like me, YOU don't really give a shit.
Now, lets eat toast and see whats on TV.
When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Until the free world wakes up as a whole, and comes to the reality about who is causing these problems, and decides to deal with it head on, consequences be damned, it will continue.

The International Rescue Committee is operating one of the main camps taking in Darfur refugees. You can donate money to them. They know how to use it. Not perfectly, I'm sure, but they're there -- feeding, housing, doctoring. Beats the shit out of nothing.

Until the end of the month, online donations are doubled by an outside contributor. Go here to donate.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)
