“ People say, “I’m going to sleep now,” as if it were nothing. But it’s really a bizarre activity. “For the next several hours, while the sun is gone, I’m going to become unconscious, temporarily losing command over everything I know and understand. When the sun returns, I will resume my life.” If you didn’t know what sleep was, and you had only seen it in a science fiction movie, you would think it was weird and tell all your friends about the movie you’d seen. “They had these people, you know? And they would walk around all day and be okay? And then, once a day, usually after dark, they would lie down on these special platforms and become unconscious. They would stop functioning almost completely, except deep in their minds they would have adventures and experiences that were completely impossible in real life. As they lay there, completely vulnerable to their enemies, their only movements were to occasionally shift from one position to another; or, if one of the ‘mind adventures’ got too real, they would sit up and scream and be glad they weren’t unconscious anymore. Then they would drink a lot of coffee.” So, next time you see someone sleeping, make believe you’re in a science fiction movie. And whisper, “The creature is regenerating itself.

Alternate points of view always help a debate or discussion. Thank you to the original authors of these pieces of literature.

Thankfully someone posted some useful links. I suggest reading these as an alternative perspective on Invisible Children.http://ericswanderings.wordpress.com/2012/03/06/invisible-children-and-joseph-kony/

Directly funding a military is no way to go about things. And what about the Ugandan president who let all this happen for 20 odd years?

I find it hard to believe I haven’t heard of this before today. It’s incredible. This should be on every news channel in the nation. Hell, it should be broadcasted globally. It shows the immense power that the internet affords the citizens of the world.
+1.2 million views in one day. This is incredibly important.
Please Watch.
