Hey Internet!
Today in my city, it's a lovely and rainy Ides of March, another one of those days considered unlucky. Why? As explained in the last post, it's the day Julius Caesar was stabbed to death, and he was allegedly warned by a fortune-teller to: 'beware the Ides of March' and not believing her/him, he wasn't cautious. Still, it's another reason to never underestimate psychics and fortune tellers.
But now to what I've been DYING to do: talk about Kony and what it's all about.
For those who surprisingly don't know who he is, he's the leader of the L.R.A (Lord's Resistance Army), a rebel group that abducts young Ugandan children from their homes at night. He forces the boys to kill their own parents and become child soldiers, and the girls into sex slaves for the L.R.A. They are then made to mutilate faces. And over 26 years, this has happened to over 30,000 children. Kony is not fighting for any cause, other than to maintain power. No one, until now, has done anything about it. He has also promised peace on many occasions and when his strength is regained, he attacks, killing many.
So what can we do? You probably live many miles away from Uganda, but you can do a lot for Kony 2012: Join the cause. Find out more information. Raise awareness in your local area. Whatever you can do, I DARE you to do something.
And that is all I'm going to say about the Kony campaign. If you have any questions, any topics you want me to talk bout, let me know in the comments below.
Happy Ides of March!! (and don't get stabbed today!)
