So you've got an 8 year old girl, skipping through a field, trying to enjoy what her life is in a war torn world in Afghanistan. She steps on a mine. Her legs get blown off. She dies, and her family, already taken a huge toll on by poverty and possible killing of other females, arrests of fathers, etc, has to deal with a missing daughter, and they are unaware of her state. They find out, a week later, she got killed by a mine. You don't see 14-23 year olds sending out tweets about that in hopes that the government will do something. Putting up posters. No, no you don't.

I do, however, feel something does need to be done. I think kids in Uganda need to be treated, they need to fix up everything. I think they should do something practical. Putting posters up and ransacking a city overnight is NOT the way to do it. Maybe a petition of a few million signatures would do something. It has before and will again. Vandalizing your city will do nothing but turn into a riot.

Something needs to be done, and fast, but not via tweets, facebook, and vandals.
Welcome to the party, did you remember to bring the dip?
