Post On Anything (Kony)

The whole Kony thing is sparking great controversy. Some believe he's real, others don't and think he is made up so people running charities can make money. I think he is real, but people are taking advantage of him to make money. Many people are donating money to Invisible Children, but only roughly 1/3 of that money is going to the army, to help find Kony. The rest is going to celebrities who helped Kony be famous and to pay for the trip to Uganda I strongly believed this whole thing was for a good cause at first but now i see that it is pure foolishness.
If only Only 31-32 percent actually goes to helping the cause they use more of the donations to make videos than to stop Kony. Also, many survivors of Konys army say he died 5 years ago... and he is most likely not in uganda anymore since he knows the us will be looking for him also, ugandan residents don't even have problems with Kony
We shouldn't be taking soldiers away from their families for years to fight someone that is probably not even there anymore.I think that it is really shady, but there's some truth there. As long as Kony is still alive, he's a problem. It said in the video that both him and his followers have moved mainly out of Uganda and into other African countries. You have to understand that he stops, regroups, proposes peace, and goes around and kills people again. You almost have to give him credit for some serious strategy, but this dude is terrible. Once a killer, always a killer. It's not like in movies where you can have a change of heart over night. I'm personally going to do some more research and find out. I don't care if he's not active, this guy is not believably dead, so he needs to be caught.
