I have a bit of an opinion on this topic, please read the whole thing though, if you plan on reading it.
I found out about this yesterday. After watching the video I felt quite a bit of emotion, as it is with motivational speakers. So I had a few drinks, played some Pokemon, and went to bed. When I woke up I thought about the topic a little bit to form my own opinion on it, and not let them create an opinion for me by manipulating my emotions.
I'm feeling pretty skeptical about how their plan will work based on recent history based evidence. The VERY first thing I thought of was Osama Bin Laden, who was one famous guy, considering what he did. The US government was actively after his head, and pretty much everyone knew who he was, and still knows today, after his death last year. Did they catch him December of that year (2001)? Or the next? Or the next? No, it took them TEN years to get him.
The next bit of evidence I am looking at is the Occupy protests. Thousands of people worldwide went out on the streets and caused a ruckus. There are still protests going on, but I don't recall much changing because of it. Yes, it got their cause some supporters and spread the word, but I have to say it wasn't very effective in the end.
I'm not saying the cause is wrong, but I'm saying we have to be realistic. I don't believe that they will have Kony this year.
Now I have spread this, and I feel everyone should watch this, see what's going on over there, form an opinion, write a letter, make a scene, but by this time next year I think it'll be the same as all the other internet spread sensations and we'll turn to each other and say " What ever happened to that Kony guy, did they catch him?" and then you'll shrug because you don't have a clue.
I hope I am wrong. I really really really REALLY hope I am wrong, and I have done my part in hopes that Kony is captured and all this horror is put to an end. This year. I sincerely hope that everyone else does too, and perhaps everyone can prove me wrong.... But as they say, history repeats itself, and I don't think this will be much different.
