I thought I had posted somewhere in this thread, but I can't find it now.
Well, my user name is a mystery which youw ill never understand. Don't even try. Your brain will explode.
Actually, the true lack of imagination which my use names portrays is due to the following:
I found this site and thought it simple wasn't possible that this was what it appeared to be. I mean, a site for Christian anime fan? Impossible. So, I signed up real fast (erego, the uncreative user name) just so I could post and find out what this site REALLY was. My first post was something like "Christian anime alliance? 'Christian' as a religious affiliation?" I think I was expecting someone to reply and say something like "No stupid! The guy who found it was named Christian."
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
