Hi All-
Am I the only one just now hearing about this guy? The daughter of one of my racin' buddies posted the link on Facebook. The video is about half an hour, but watch it as soon as you can. It's not something you should watch at work or in public.

They say Joseph Kony should be arrested and brought before the International Court. I think he needs a nice hot serving of "Seal Team Six" myself, but then I always get accused of bein' a redneck anyways. I warn you, it's a truly horrifying film in places. I'm signin' up for "Kony 2012", hope y'all will think about it.

Team Mod- I don't intend this as a "political discussion" in any way. If it seems "wrong" to the group, so be it, just delete the thread. I'm just sharing something I thought the group would want to know about it.

Thanks everybody-
JD Kemp

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kony
Wikipedia article about Joseph Kony, the subject of the film.
Wiki glosses it over pretty well...

There are American "advisors" in Central Africa now, helping the Ugandan forces track Kony. The group "Invisible Children" is a fundraising/lobbyist group advocating for the children caught in the middle, literally, of Kony's war. Nobody seems too clear on exactly who, or what, Kony is fighting, except anybody that opposes him.

*Totally my opinion from here on* I think helping to catch Kony is a more pressing issue for our lawmakers to hear about, and fund, than worryin' about what Rush said, or propping up some crooked bankers.

Watch the movie when you can. It makes the point much better than I do.

gonzo,i would do the opposite and strongly advise people watching it in public and at work..after all the point is to spread the information,i watched it last night and all I think of was "sniper" ,in a country so full of wildlife poachers you would think someone would have payed one to make him go away.
