Here's why I say fuck Corporate American NGO's like Bono
- Donate to Amma if your going to donate.
‘The idea that a poor African’s life is being ‘borrowed’ for them by a rich white person is not a revolutionary concept. It is degrading, insulting and misleading, further entrenching the idea that this is how the world works and that’s ok. In terms of ethical standards, Red is the very opposite of a regulatory mechanism. The costs will no doubt be written off in the companies’ PR budgets, they will get a huge amount of positive publicity and extra sales off the back of it, and they do not have to make any improvements in the way they treat their workers across the world. These companies are helping perpetuate the very system that is impoverishing Africans and driving the AIDS pandemic. Business has to be more involved in the world beyond its profit margins, but Product Red is not the form this involvement should take. Fundraising is welcome, but Red’s rhetoric (the gross simplifications, the sanctimony, the blacked-up white people) is not. With its grandiose claims and complete lack of a political message, I can’t see how Product Red can be a positive force.’

Like a distant flower,

I longed for the sun to visit.

I feel the scent of you

passing past the maple leaves

like shadow follows wind.

If, by trying to understand the truth, you dispel the misunderstandings of some people and thereby some philosophies are damaged - that cannot be taken as criticizing the views of others.- Candrakīrti

Repression is not the way to virtue. When people restrain themselves out of fear, their lives are by necessity diminished. Only through freely chosen discipline can life be enjoyed and still kept within the bounds of reason -Csikszentmihalyi

"And did those feet in ancient time, walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God on England's pleasant pastures seen?"- An often quoted feeling amongst the English and their feelings stemming of Christ and if he ever really did get to Europe; of course he did not. - William Blake (poet).
