Terrorism in Africa

     So I'm sure you have all started to see the YouTube post for Kony 2012 and may have even looked over them or not thought that this was important. If that was you, I can fully understand the roll of your eyes and the thought that this is "just another Facebook trend" to look over. I can grantee that this is not something you want to look over.
     I remember in junior high learning about Adolf Hitler and thinking, "How could human beings allow this to happen for so long?" and "Why didn't they do anything about this?" I also remember thinking "If this ever happened in my life time, I would do something... anything, to stop this from happening to anyone else." Well world, this is happening and it has been happening for a long time apparently. I am sure that Kony is not the only evil man in the world hurting children or killing people, but he is on the top of the list at this time. Over 30,000 children have been abducted and forced to kill others and become sex slaves. This is serious and it is up to us a people to show humanity to ask, "When is this going to stop?" We are the only ones who can stop this. And I plan on being a part of this movement. I choose Kony 2012. And so should you.
