Ouch
Save lives today!!! Also, increase your penis size.
Sixty years ago, the world stood silently by as six million Jews were consigned to flames in Auschwitz and other factories of death. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, humanity pledged never again to be complacent in the face of genocide. Sadly, we failed to keep that promise in Cambodia, Bosnia, and Rwanda. In our own day, we have allowed the genocide in Darfur to rage unabated for three agonizing years.
Jeannie Biniek and Adam Greenwald proceed to explain how we have failed by saying all the crappy things that happened. They really could've made the argument by directly following with:
Today, UC students are leading the fight to end Darfur's nightmare.
and
On March 16, the UC Regents will decide, once and for all, whether UC takes the lead in fighting genocide. Your presence at the meeting, set to begin at 8 a.m. on the UCLA campus, is the most concrete thing you can do right now to save lives in Darfur.
This paints a far grimmer picture. Is this really what it takes to lead the fight? Showing up to whine at some old guys who have control of some money?
