It's not about me (or you)

It's about us. We are all in this together; starving children in Africa, uber-wealthy Americans, club kids in Europe, all of us. It's about changing the us/them mentality. When we are "we", there is no them.

My new friend, Soren, recently posted an entry about Invisible Children. What an incredible organization. I love their intro, "If the Greatest Generation sacrificed for war, what will our generation be known as if we sacrifice for peace?" After reading the site and watching a couple of their trailers, I was moved to act and I hope you are too.

Another great site is Modest Needs. They are doing great things to help society by bridging the gap for a lot of "the working poor". Thank you. Thank you.
