Kony 2012

I watched this and it really is a pretty powerful video. It's interesting using word of mouth to get something like this noticed in the same way more trivial things go viral. This is a pretty worthy cause and I'd highly recommend people that have a love of justice and of protecting children to give it a look.

 

Regardless if it's "too late" or not, I still think it's a good way to spread a message. Maybe it worked or maybe it didn't, but I think using social media and sharing such things is never a bad thing. It may inspire others to try to do something similar. Even if the guy has decreased his "recruitment" of children, he's still done horrible things. It's sort of like saying, "Well, the WTC attacks happened in 2001 so we shouldn't worry about catching the guys responsible for orchestrating it."

In any case, the idea is a pretty good one. I'm not a very political person, so I probably won't have much else to add to this topic, but it's always good to use whatever means we have to hopefully stop atrocities around the world.
