Interesting site
In no way did I ever imply that there aren't issues in this country that need to be addressed. Meanwhile we're waisting money in a pointless war that fatcats are getting wealthy off of... but.. that's a whole different debate. But... I'm looking at it from a broader perspective in terms of, less monitary help all around.. home and abroad.. and more human interactive awareness... home AND abroad. Which, back to the original post, that site is allowing.
Just by coincidence, this is a daily trivia questions I received today from a coworker:
“Don’t worry.... Walk around. Look busy.”
Q: That, reportedly, is what an official of a certain company told its employees who were working in Iraq. What company is once again accused of being more concerned with making money than with getting anything done?
A: Halliburton. Halliburton employees told congressional investigators about the joys of a cost-plus contract: being paid high salaries to walk around aimlessly, drive empty trucks back and forth...and if one of those trucks had a flat, the company would abandon it and buy another truck for $85,000.

Here is the description of the site:
"WITNESS uses video and online technologies to open the eyes of the world to human rights violations. We empower people to transform personal stories of abuse into powerful tools for justice, promoting public engagement and policy change"

IF the US took 5% of it's military budget and put it towards something more useful like social programs, even that would be an improvement.
You talk about fixing problems at home, well you're spending more money causing problems away from home.
How hypocriticial.
