Shake Hands with the Devil
I just watched a documentary about the horrible slaughters in Africa approximately 15 years ago. I remembered those times and it make me think about how many people today are completely unaware of what happened…
It also made me think about how much goes on every day that I am not doing anything to in any way make a difference to help/improve.
It made me think of the enormous difference that would be made if every individual alive were to be doing at least one thing every day to help positively affect the world.
It makes me wonder if there is one thing I could do….right at this very moment…that would make a positive difference in the world.
Another thing I started thinking about were the media channels that provided more news to the important matters that the rest of the world attempts to ignore so that they don’t have to feel badly enough to be motivated to act in order to help with or to outcry about the lack of action regarding.
And then I thought about the news channels that today actually deliver more coverage of the current events… Some of which are public radio stations.
Then I thought about the way that the public radio stations have to beg and beg and beg for money just to stay alive.
Which is completely horrid…
Considering that they are only there for the people…and that the people want them around….and yet, still, they are left barely functional….dealing with sometimes even being locked out of their own spaces, unable to pay rents…barely getting by….because we the people, aren’t willing to simply take care of things so that we actually get some form of media that isn’t paid for by large corporations and henceforth deliver news as it is appropriate to the interests of those money mongers….
We should be ashamed…But better than being ashamed…. We should all just contribute and stop making those poor folks beg…
Just my two cents for tonight.
Oh…and one more thing… How did I go from “Shake Hands with the Devil” and the Rwandan tragedies to public radio….easy….news…people knowing about things….having even just the opportunity to know that there is a scenario that they should and perhaps could help with….
I’m tired and the details are too many to mention now…
