But we live in the real world, and way beyond conflicts that are comparatively minor, out there, in the real world, there are many, big problems. And in a blog which started speaking about Freedom of speech, I think I should mention Burma now.
I won't enter the discussion, since there are loads of articles and blogs if you digg a little bit around the net. A good start could be http://www.avaaz.org/ and www.freeburmacoalition.org
The point of this entry is to stress that in no way is this blog a closed-minded resource to focus on a single issue. The real (as opposed to the virtual) world is the place to act. And although the matters discussed thus far are important to me, I am no confused, and I am not putting it at the top of my priorities.
Hi Cateto, I'm really glad that you posted this on your blog because I believe that it puts things in perspective quite nicely. Sometimes it's possible that when dealing with issues close to home such as the hq case, it's good to remember that there is real suffering and worse injustices to be combatted in the world.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this but I did not doubt for a moment that your priorities are in order.
I'm looking forward to your next blog entry.
Peace,
