today i was talking to some lady about the news, and i brought up the struggle in darfur. she had no idea what it was, she had never even heard of a genocide that's been going on for four years!! it bothered me so much; more than it usually does, considering this happens all the time. i suppose people just dont notice things that arent in their daily routines (this is why i brought up darfur during our media discussion; it's never in the news) even to the extent of a genocide.
It also made me think of the book fahrenheit 451, because she changed the subject right away as though she didn't care to hear or even acknowledge that there was any kind of suffering in the world. (she probably wouldnt've known what fahrenheit 451 is either)
my point is that it's hard to meet people who actually know about the stuff i know about, and care about it; squatting, dumpster diving, world peace, etc.
so i just wanted to say thanks for this site; it's perfect and it keeps me going to know that there are still people in the world who aren't mindless zombies.
