Hypothetical Question of the Day:

Courtesy of Karen (heykmarie.wordpress.com) we have a hypothetical question of the day. A new tradition which, I hope will endure.

Today’s question is:

If: You are a woman that has never planned on having children and did not want to have children. You met someone and fell in love with them.

Than: Would you have children because it’s what they want?

Why or why not?

Discuss via comments.

Rules of the game: You must occupy the hypothetical. Answering with, “Well, I want kids, so, yea” or “Of course I would! I’m a guy!” defeats the purpose. The point is to put yourself in unfamiliar shoes, and discover why you answer yes or no. What are your motivators? What is your reasoning? Based on what experience or information?

We need to talk.

Lets talk. Here’s the deal: The Rescue does not work without you. I know yesterday I was talking about all of these moguls that could show up and make a difference… but the truth is, without you they won’t do anything. If every single mogul in the world showed up on April 25, it wouldn’t matter if it was just me waving my sign around. They need to know that YOU, their constituents, care about this issue. A lot of you.

Right now, there are 16 people committed to attending this event according to facebook. If we make it to 30 people – each one of us will represent 100 child soldiers. Look around the room you’re in, and fill it up with 100 children. Multiply that by 30. Thats a lot of kids who are fighting a war who weren’t even alive to start it. AND, thats 3,000 child soldiers active right now.

66,000 + children have been abducted over the course of the war, with no record of their names or numbers this is just an estimate. How many more will have to be kidnapped and forced to kill, to fight for Joseph Kony, before someone does something?

If we get 100 people into Syntagma Square on April 25, each of us will represent 660 children lost to a war with no apparent cause, goal, or end in sight. This war continues to collect children for its army to protect Joseph Kony from going to trial for war crimes. There is no other rhyme or reason for its perpetuity.

Can we know that and do nothing? I can’t.

13 days.
