Where are our leaders? Where is our fight and drive?
We whine for the war to end.
Yet we think bumper stickers and moaning will encourage that change.
Where is our anger? Where is our commitment? When will we demand results?
We cry when we watch Hotel Rwanda, and mourn when 32 students are killed at Virginia Tech. Yet hundreds of thousands of people are dying as a result of genocide in Darfur, and all we do is throw the "Save Darfur Club" a few bucks.
Where is our passion? Where is our devotion to humanity? When will we start truly helping causes above our own?

Damn right. I, for one, am really interested in going to Africa and actually trying to help with my own hands. A lot of people I've talked to have said the same thing. Anyone here interested? Maybe we can put together a decent-sized group, and actually start to make the changes we want to see in the world. i don't mean to come off as preachy, and certainly understand if people don't want to go to Africa in the near future. But with all the civic-minded and vocal people on this board, I'm hoping personally to find a few people to help me make my goal of actual service more possible...
"Be the change you want to see in the world"
very nice.
good points. good points. especially about the bumper stickers... were nothing like the protestors during the vietnam war,, and our politicians are all about THEIR image
What's up with Africa? why not help the USA problems first?
Because the "problems" that we face here pale in comparison with the terrible conditions the majority of the world faces on a day to day basis. Unfortunately, a lot of those people live in Africa.

I totally agree. Everything anyone does is "raise money" but honestly in Darfur they don't need money they need HELP they need people to tell them they can survive this. I'd love to go to Arfica some day
