Thanks, Stephan. I hope some of the celebrities he mentions take him up on his invitation.

It appears that Uganda has replied, albeit with a far less viral video.

Thanks, DSTB. I don't know enough about Invisible Children to judge the organization. (Read: I'd never heard of them till a week ago.) My concern is two-fold:

(1) With Americans (especially celebrities) who discover a cause, and both oversimplify it and appear to think that no one has done anything, nor made any progress before, which is very disrespectful to those who have been fighting in the trenches for years, and may result in the destruction of hard-won helpful relationships. I saw that kind of thing first-hand in the homeschooling world in the 1990's.

(2) With the idea that copying and pasting a Facebook status, or an e-mail, or a tweet is actually accomplishing something useful.

Of course, on the latter I stand guilty as charged, as I frequently feel that I've "done my part" to educate the world, when all I've done is write a post that maybe a dozen people will read.
