Make A Difference

The world continues in its downward spiral ...

A young man is horrendously racially abused and instead of offering an apology the Serbian F.A. instead blame him, and call him 'vulgar'

Lord Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury states that gay marriage could see Britain becoming a totalitarian state and going the way of Nazi Germany

U.S. congreesman Todd Akin completely disregards the victim (the woman) in his comments about rape and abortion, uses terms like 'legitimate rape' and actually believes women have super wombs that can prevent unwanted pregnancies

A 14 year old girl is hunted down and shot in the head in the name of religion for wanting to go to school.

I could go on and on. So many things have made me seethe lately. Men sit on panels talking about issues that have absolutely nothing to do with them, huge conglomorate companies pay absolutely no tax in this country while benefits are reduced by another £10billion a year, ATOS continue to make the lives of disabled people an absolute misery by passing them fit for work when they are obviously not. The rich and entitled continue to get richer, while the poor and less privilidged continue to get poorer and less privilidged.

Where does it end?

Whatever you might think, one person can make a difference. When something makes you angry don't let apathy win. Talk about it, blog about it, tweet about it. Write a letter. At the very least retweet people who are trying to raise awareness of the injustices of this world. Support people who are in a better position to make change a reality, tell them what they are doing is just and important; these people work tirelessly and often thanklessly, your support can make a difference.
