disgust.

i am continually baffled by ignorance. i am continually shocked at how isolated people make themselves.

it is estimated that 45,000 people die every month in the Democratic Republic of the Congo - since 1998 over 5,000,000 people have been killed, many from preventable conditions that have been brought on because of the war. that staggering number is the largest amount of people to be killed since the second world war. yet, where is everyone? why does no one know...and worse yet, why does no one care?

we cried for justice when 9/11 occured. we were horrified by the effects of katrina.

thousands of women, children, families, and innocent men die everyday because of greed, selfishness, and hatred....yet the world stands by and does nothing.

isn't it about time we all raised a collective voice of change? it makes me sick.
