I was directed to the Stop Kony
movement by a comment on one of my previous posts. As far as writing material
for a blog goes, this is the absolute gold standard. But
words fail me.
I was introduced today to a rather
interesting paper on the nature of political
revolutions. It appears that 2012 is the season for revolutions of a different
sort. 2011 set the stage pretty well with our beloved Mr. Hazare and Occupy
Wall Street which, for some reason, seem to have eclipsed real (and more violent)
protests elsewhere.
The Invisible Children movement is probably
a natural extension of the power trip that social media thinks it is on. But
Oprah Winfrey and Justin Bieber's endorsement should have set off alarm bells
much sooner. Now, now. Don't judge young Mr. Russell. People have done far
worse under stress.
