Yes, please. I didn't see that Sudan ad. I noticed and read the one for Rwanda that was in the Sunday bolor supplement but I missed yesterday's. I'll look for it. But really, aren't you discriminating against genocidal world leaders? Dear Leader wants you to remember: when you point a finger at someone, there are four more pointing back at you. Well, three really unless you count the thumb. And that thumb is freakishly jointed. Dear Leader thinks you get the message. Logs, eyes and all that.

Thank the UN for this one. After all, did not Kofi come out a couple a months ago to say that it was not genocide and therefore was not the province of the UN. (To busy wit his graft and corruption, I suppose.)

"Do Something"

Okay, I just did:
Why is Abu Ghraib a cover story again, but not Darfur?

I wrote a diary at Dailykos about it.

I hope that is not too conservative for you. After all I did stress "I am not at all suggesting that Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo should not be criticized any longer. There are just so many other and much worse stories that need to be covered more extensively."

Jorg: I commented at your place. I think we're very nearly on the same page with this.

Great.
I agree we can do both. Addressing human rights violations in Abu Ghraib, in US prisions and in Darfur.

Darfur gets the least coverage in the Germany, so therefore I'd like to see more. That does not have to be on the expense of other human rights violations, but it could be on the expense of silly newscoverage of celebrities the like.

Compassionate Conservatism in Action

Zinn


  • "[O]ur time, our energy, should be spent in educating, agitating, organizing our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the neighborhood, in the schools. Our objective should be to build, painstakingly, patiently but energetically, a movement that, when it reaches a certain critical mass, would shake whoever is in the White House, in Congress, into changing national policy on matters of war and social justice."

Bono


  • "True religion will not let us fall asleep in the comfort of our freedom. Love thy neighbor is not a piece of advice, it's a command. ...

    God, my friends, is with the poor and God is with us, if we are with them. This is not a burden, this is an adventure."

The Reverend Al Sharpton


  • Ray wasn't singing about what he knew, 'cause Ray had been blind since he was a child. He hadn't seen many purple mountains. He hadn't seen many fruited plains. He was singing about what he believed to be.

    Mr. President, we love America, not because of all of us have seen the beauty all the time.

    But we believed if we kept on working, if we kept on marching, if we kept on voting, if we kept on believing, we would make America beautiful for everybody.

Marx


  • ''With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 percent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent will produce eagerness, 50 percent positive audacity; 100 percent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 percent, and there is not a crime which it will not scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged.''
