400,000

400,000 is how many people have died in Darfur since 2003. 3.5 million don't have enough to eat.

So what gives? There's no oil there? The people are the wrong color?

Save Darfur encourages us to contact our elected officials. But you know, I don't even believe they were all elected, and they sure as hell don't seem to be serving the interests of any constituents in my neighborhood.

And to the Christians who did vote for that man, read your Bibles. Read Matthew.

Then look at this picture:

Someone explain to me how we look at that child and not see our own. How we allow men to keep doing this to our sisters and their children and do nothing but sit in our big houses with our full refrigerators and bitch about gas prices and gay people getting married.


Jesus wept.
