Sonic Intervention: Sarah McLachlan - World on fire = Very moving - see this now!

Sarah McLachlan: WORLD ON FIRE
It seems we are becoming increasingly concerned and distressed about conditions around the world.
* We should be... Something not so good is going around.*
When so much here buys so little relative to the rest of the world, I am humbled and often ashamed at our embarrassment of riches. Now don’t get me wrong - I do understand how things work, but what baffles me is that we often fail to remember how giving works, and to do charitable acts in response to our great fortune. We sometimes forget there's a big world out there... to be human and to be kind.

This feature: A short music video from Sarah Mclachlan - she is to be commended. It also has info on how much *sound* donations (don't let Katrina-gate etc. kill your kindness) can do - Remember, every effort helps no matter how large or small, how famous or anonymous = it all make an impact.
So, do something - make your own impact.

BBC NEWS Technology: Amnesty International to target net repression.

Internet users are being urged to stand up for online freedoms by backing a new campaign launched by human rights group Amnesty International.
* Get more in this topic here -> BBC NEWS Technology - Amnesty International to target net repression.

The campaign will highlight abuses of rights the net is used for, and push for the release of those jailed for speaking out online. It will also name hi-tech firms aiding governments that limit online protests.

*My comment: Hmmm- Hi-Tech corps aiding gov't censorship?
Criminy! I shudder to think of the motivations behind all this...
Learn for yourself and act.

See this video now!
CLICK HERE --> ABC News: Soldiers Turn SNL Rap Skit Into 'Lazy Ramadi'

Flip the Script
Two U.S. soldiers make a Rap music video about their time in Iraq.
Inspired by a SNL (Saturday Night Live) skit, SSG Matt Wright created this video with US National Guard-mates all the way in Iraq.
It's gone viral of course.

Here's a clue for America about how they are feeling. Thought provoking, and also quite entertaining... seems a waste of some spontaneous talent.

*** 2 thumbs up here for the "Vid” and wishing all our troops well.
