I like to FB while I go potty. It's true, and I know you all do it, too. This morning I saw the first posts for the KONY2012 video and spent the entire 30 minutes unable to move from my location. Which, needless to say, was not the best spot to watch the film. But it captured my attention and it should capture yours as well - just make sure you are comfortable when you watch it.
When I finished watching the video (and moved to a better spot), I googled "Kony 2012 Donate." I found a lot of criticisms about the charitable organization, ranging from their expenditures to their egocentric viral message. [See Jezebel.com] Invisible Children has published an answer to these criticisms on their own website. There will always be a better way to do certain things, but there will never be a better way to do something if you never do it.
My point is, you may as well donate. And I'll give you a mathematical proof as to why.
Let X=amount of money you could donate
You know at least (1/3)X goes to support central African programs
If X=0, then (1/3)X=0
Therefore, as long as X does not equal 0, MONEY WILL GO TO SUPPORT CENTRAL AFRICAN PROGRAMS.
There. Now you are empowered and have a mathematical proof as to why you can donate.
